Introduction to Groups

Groups provide a way to create a collection of positions across your Team Chart. You can think of them as teams. Once created, Groups are used in the following features:

  1. Knowledge Items - use Groups to assign Knowledge Items using Responsible Positions.

  2. Notifications - use Groups to determine who should or should not receive certain Notifications.

  3. Filter Views - use Groups in Knowledge and Objectives to quickly find what you are looking for.
