Now that you've mastered Tags, find out how to manage the Groups that contain them.
 The Groups feature is a dynamic and intuitive way to organize all of your members. Below you will find out how this feature allows you to customize and assign preferences to different kinds of members based on your business needs and objectives.
 

Group Feature Walk-Through


To access the Groups feature, please go to Settings ⚙️> Groups.

From the Groups homepage, you can manage and view all of your existing groups.
Prioritizing your groups

 

Members will be sorted into groups based on the tags associated with their accounts. 

Once a member falls into a group, they will not be placed into any groups below that group, even if they meet a lower-ranked group's criteria.

As such, it is important to arrange your groups in order of access, with the least access to the Hub at the top and the most access at the bottom. 

 

Arranging your groups

 

When you first open your Groups page, the groups will be arranged based on two general rules:

  1. Groups with the most restrictions will be placed at the top of your list

  2. Groups with the most "Hub Access" will be placed near the bottom of your list

You can manually set the order of your Groups by clicking and dragging the blue icon next to the group.

Total Members and Actual Members

From the Groups homepage, each group will have two numbers associated with it: Total Users and Actual Users
  • Total Users shows the number of users in your Hub whose profiles contain the tags allowed in this group.

  • Actual Users show the number of people in the group and will fluctuate depending on the group's priority. 
Seeing your Total and Actual User count can help you manage your groups at a glance. 

 

Create A New Group

From the Groups homepage click New Group to begin the process.

A pop-up will appear on your screen. From here, you will enter the group's name, a brief description of the group, choose a color to associate with the group, and enable various Hub features. These features can be managed later using the Access Control feature.

Edit Your Group

To begin making edits to a specific group, click on the Edit link on the associated group.

From here, you can create/edit rules for your group and change the name, color, and description of your group.

Create A Rule

When you add tags to a group, you give this group's actual users the ability to access the features in the Hub that are check marked on this page.

To add tags to a group, click New Rule.

Next, click the arrow next to Select User-Type, then choose the option that best fits your objective.

From here, you can select the tag parameters you would like to use.

Finally, click and drag tags from the Tag panel on the right-hand side of the page into the Drop Tags Here box. The tags will look something like this when you've added them to the rule:

If you select Extra Options, you can define permissions even further by utilizing an And/Or without the tags option. Once you've clicked and dragged these tags onto the Drop Tags Here box, the rule will look something like this.
