Group Types

Concept

Group types let you subdivide groups into categories.

When to use

Assigning a group type to a group lets you filter groups for lookup, reports, mailing lists, etc.

How to use

Open the Group Types Manager by clicking on Group types from the Setup panel on the main VSys One screen. This brings up a list of all group types currently defined.

Assigning a group type to a group lets you define where that group is valid. In this example, groups of the type Additionals can only be used as additional groups for people, and cannot be used as the person's group or company

The group type "Group" is always automatically created, cannot be edited or deleted, and is the default type for all newly created groups.

Deleting a group type does not delete the groups or people within that groups of that group type. Affected groups will show as group type "unknown" and no longer be searchable by group type.
