Groups Overview

 

What is a Group? A Group is an Assignment Scope that contains specific instances within the scope. For example, you could add a Group called "Management" and add instances to the Management Group such as Team Leads, Assistant Managers, or Supervisors. 

 

There are 3 Assignment Scopes that are used for assigning rules within the software: Company, Group, and Employee.
