How To Create Groups For Users

Learn how you can use groups to keep job information separate across different groups & users

Written by Fin

By assigning jobs and users to a group, you ensure that only the right people have access to the right information. This makes it easy to keep things separate across teams, branches, or customers.
​

You can create multiple groups and assign selected sub-users and jobs to those groups. Only the sub-users assigned to a particular group will be able to view jobs that belonging to that group. (How To Use The Group Feature To Restrict The Information Available To Each Sub-User)


For example:

  1. A 3rd Party Logistics (3PL) company can group jobs by the different customers they serve, so that each customer can only sees their own delivery jobs.
    ​

  2. A Distributor/Retailer can group jobs by branch/store locations, so each branch/store only manages its respective delivery jobs
