[Tex/LaTex] How to Write Names of Multiple Authors with Shared Affiliation in ACM 2017 Template

acmaffiliationtemplates

I am using ACM 2017 template for proceedings and want to write names of four authors with the same affiliation. I have looked at similar questions like this, but it looks like some of the commands are not available in the new template (e.g. \numberofauthors). How should I write all authors' names with the same affiliation in the new template?

The problem with writing manuals is that nobody reads them...

I thought I covered this in ACM manual. Here is what I wrote:

You may have several authors with the same afifliation, different affiliations or overlapping affiliations (author A1 is affiliated with institutions I 1 and I 2 , while author A2 is affiliated with I 2 only, and author A3 is affiliated with I 1 and I 3 , . . . ). The recommended solution is to put the \affiliation commands after each author, possibly repeating them:

 \author{...}
 \orcid{...}
 \affiliation{...}
 \affiliation{...}
 \email{...}
 \author{...}
 \orcid{...}
 \affiliation{...}
 \email{...}
 \author{...}
 \orcid{...}
 \affiliation{...}
 \affiliation{...}
 \email{...}

In some cases when several authors share the same affiliation you may try to save the space using the format

 \author{...}
 \email{...}
 \author{...}
 \email{...}
 \affiliation{...}

However, this format is not generally recommended.
