Groups bring team members together, such as housekeeping or front of house, so you can assign Programs and report on each team.
Find your Groups
Open the arrow next to People in the sidebar. Your Groups are listed underneath, and selecting one opens its page.
Create a Group
Select Create a group. It's at the bottom of the Groups list under People in the sidebar.
Name the Group after the team it represents. You can also pick an icon and add a short description.
Select Create Group.
Add its members. On the People page, tick the team members, then select Add to Group in the bar that appears at the bottom. See Invite your People for getting your team into Paddl.
Pro tip: Set up your Groups before your Programs, so you can assign each Program to the right teams straight away.
Groups from your HRIS
If you've connected an HRIS, your teams can become Groups automatically. These show a link icon in the sidebar and a Connected badge on their page. Your HRIS looks after their name and members; you look after their Programs and Managers in Paddl. Your HRIS's setup guide, in the Connections collection, explains how its teams sync. See How connections work.
Add a Manager
Select Add a Manager. It's at the top right of the Group's page. Select the plus, then choose who to add.
The new Manager gets an email letting them know, and a summary of the Group each week. They follow the Group's members and progress in the Members App. See See your team's progress for what Managers see.
Pro tip: A Manager doesn't have to be a member of the Group. Add them as a Manager only and they can follow the team without being assigned its training.
Track a Group
Each Group's page shows how many of its members are job-ready and their average completion rate. Below, the Members, Programs and Activities tabs break it down.
Change a Group
Select Manage Group. It's at the top right of the Group's page and opens its details and settings.
