Learning Studio One 4 - simple mix console questions

Edit: Please note this has been solved.
Hi, I have setup a couple of simple projects to learn Studio One. A few things that would seem to be simple elude me. I have consulted the manual, read the instructions, and am still scratching my head. I'm hoping a few people can help me.
I am testing Impact XT and have routed drums to different ports. I have figured out how to use inserts, but have a few questions about sends and group buses.
1.) How do I link a track to a send? I can create a send, see the original track and the send, but I can't seem to route audio to it. The manual suggests to click on "add send" from the dropdown in the insert rack of the original track. There is "send" but it just populates FX chains, which, I assume, would be used on the FX channel itself, not the track. If I choose "Add FX channel" from an empty spot on a track channel it just seems to create the FX channel without linking the two. What am I doing wrong? This should be very simple, but I seem to be too stupid to figure it out.
2.) I see how to create a bus that is hotlinked to existing channels by selecting the channels then choosing "Add bus for selected channels." If I choose "Add Bus Channel" there doesn't seem to be a way to route tracks to it. Obviously, one doesn't always know the exact number of tracks that will eventually feed into a bus, so I have to assume that there is something I don't know or don't understand.
Sorry to be such a newbie, but I want to understand basic functionality before I tackle something of substance.
Edit: Okay, I see now that I can do this in the track inspector. Is there a way to do it directly in the console?
