Structure of groups

Groups function as independent organizational units below the association.

Groups consist of:

  • A group image
  • Members
  • Leaders
  • Secretaries

To better structure the members within a group, you can assign freely selectable tags to members. These tags are used for grouped display in appointments to provide a better overview.

ATTENTION: Tags are not sections and only serve for grouping in the display. Tags can be changed or deleted at any time.

Create group

To create a new group, follow these steps:

  1. Go to the Association overview and select your association.

    When creating a group, tags can be assigned to members. This step is optional and therefore not mandatory to create and use the group.

    The member tags can also be edited at any time after the group has been created. You can find more information under the section Manage tags for members.

Add members to existing groups

If a group already exists, it can be expanded with additional members at any time.

To add members to the group, follow these steps:

  1. In the association details, go to the Groups section and select the corresponding group.

Manage tags for members

Tags serve for grouping in the display. They are not sections.

View of group members

In the Members section within the group, you can switch between

  • a simple member list where the tags are listed for each member
  • a member view grouped by tags

using two buttons at the top right.
