Here the 'Group' Column can be used to only add students in a particular Group to a Restricted Course. If I only want to add the Students grouped under 'Pre-Reg' to the 'Nursing Pre-Registration' Restricted Course, I can set the filter to only add Students whose 'Group' Column contains 'Pre-Reg':
In Step 2 of the Import process, only the Students whose 'Group' Column met the criteria will actually be Imported (or Updated) by this Import process - in this case only Students whose Group is 'Pre-Reg':
Note that the Students with their Group as 'Post' are not included in the Preview - this is due to them being filtered out for not meeting the Criteria set in Step 1 of the Import Process.
