We define Group as a collection of "categorized" data. This section enables you to create Groups to help you keep more organized. You can place items such as FAQs, Staff Directory entries, or Links into categories. If this seems confusing, lets use an example of the Staff Directory. If your company has 4 different departments, it would be wise to split up your Staff Directory entries to co responding to a particular department. Groups allow you to do this. You can create a group for every department in your organization, for example Human Resources, Administrative, Inside Sales, and Management. Now, when you add a Staff Directory entry, you can add the individual to their corresponding group. The end result is all your employees are grouped together. Here is a complete list of all the "Site Features" that take advantage of groups:

  • FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
  • Links of Interest
  • Minutes of Meetings in PDF format
  • News, Information and Attractions
  • Reports in PDF format
  • Staff Directory
  • Terms/Dictionary
  • Help For Web site

The first thing you need to decide when adding a group is what Site Feature to tie it to. If you want to create a new Group for the FAQ Site Feature, you need to choose FAQ from the drop down menu.



Once you select the correct Site Feature to tie it to, you need to give the Group a name. You need to enter it's name in the "Group Description" box. After you choose a name you need to decide if you want all visitors to your site to see the items(FAQs, HELP, NEWS, ETC) in this group. If you check the "Administration Only" box, only Administrators who login are allowed to get to those entries.
