Group Examples

Here are some examples of how different companies can use groups to organize their users:

1. A company that sells products through a sales team, provides services through a service team, and also has dealers. They can create separate groups for their sales reps, service team, and dealers. This allows them to customize the visibility of folders and content for each group, ensuring that the right information is accessible to the right people.

2. A clothing company that offers different lines of clothing, such as men's, women's, and children's clothing. They can create separate groups for each clothing line. This allows them to tailor the content and notifications to each specific group, ensuring that the right products and updates are communicated to the relevant audience.

3. A global company that operates in different countries. They can create separate groups for each country. This allows them to control the visibility of folders and content based on geographical locations, ensuring that the right information is accessible to employees in each country.

By organizing users into groups, companies can effectively manage and control access to information, personalize notifications, and analyze the performance of each group. This helps improve communication, collaboration, and productivity within the organization.
