=== Custom Groups ===

 +
In the About Me section of the Sugar control panel (and in the Sugar intro) it is possible set the age of the user.
 +
However, not every deployment may want to group users by age, e.g., in Australia, they group students by grade.
 +
 +
Using a configuration file (/usr/share/sugar/data/group-stats.defaults), it is possible to configure the selection into groups
 +
specific to the needs of a deployment. The configuration file is a JSON-encoded Python dictionary that maps ages to labels and icons associated with those labels.
 +
 +
The file that configures the default Sugar behavior is shown here (with added CRs for readability in the wiki):
 +
 +
{"group-label": "Select age:",
 +
"group-items": [
 +
{"female-icon": "female-0", "male-icon": "male-0", "label": "0-3", "age": 3},
 +
{"female-icon": "female-1", "male-icon": "male-1", "label": "4-5", "age": 5},
 +
{"female-icon": "female-2", "male-icon": "male-2", "label": "6-7", "age": 7},
 +
{"female-icon": "female-3", "male-icon": "male-3", "label": "8-9", "age": 9},
 +
{"female-icon": "female-4", "male-icon": "male-4", "label": "10-11", "age": 11},
 +
{"female-icon": "female-5", "male-icon": "male-5", "label": "12", "age": 12},
 +
{"female-icon": "female-6", "male-icon": "male-6", "label": "13-17", "age": 15},
 +
{"female-icon": "female-7", "male-icon": "male-7", "label": "Adult", "age": 25}

:The group-label is the prompt that appears in the UI
 +
:Each group-item is represented by a different icon and label in the interface and is mapped to a specific age used to calculate birthdate reported by Harvest. The icons are gender-specific. If no gender is specified, the female icon is used.
 +
 +
A file that configures grades instead of ages is shown here (with added CRs for readability in the wiki):
 +
 +
{"group-label": "Select grade:",
 +
"group-items": [
 +
{"female-icon": "female-1", "male-icon": "male-1", "label": "Preschool", "age":  4},
 +
{"female-icon": "female-1", "male-icon": "male-1", "label": "Kindergarten", "age": 5},
 +
{"female-icon": "female-2", "male-icon": "male-2", "label": "1st Grade", "age": 6},
 +
{"female-icon": "female-3", "male-icon": "male-3", "label": "2nd Grade", "age": 7},
 +
{"female-icon": "female-4", "male-icon": "male-4", "label": "3rd Grade", "age": 8},
 +
{"female-icon": "female-5", "male-icon": "male-5", "label": "4th Grade", "age": 9},
 +
{"female-icon": "female-5", "male-icon": "male-5", "label": "5th Grade", "age": 10},
 +
{"female-icon": "female-6", "male-icon": "male-6", "label": "6th Grade", "age": 11},
 +
{"female-icon": "female-6", "male-icon": "male-6", "label": "7th Grade", "age": 12},
 +
{"female-icon": "female-7", "male-icon": "male-7", "label": "High School", "age": 13},
