Groups - Plugixa Team

A group is whatever you need it to be: a department, an office, a project team. A member belongs to as many as they really do, which is the point - somebody can sit in Engineering and in the Leadership team without being duplicated.

Why they matter beyond tidiness

Groups drive two things a visitor actually touches: the group navigation that sits above a layout, and the filter layout. Both read the same list, so a group added here appears in both without further work.

They are also how a shortcode narrows what it shows, through the group attribute, so one view can serve an all-company page and a departmental one.

Ordering

Groups carry their own order, and that is the order the navigation shows them in. Drag to change it. Alphabetical is rarely what you want when one department is the one visitors came for.
