Create a group and/or group type

If you have a large staff, 15Five can help you keep your reports in order by creating groups. 15Five company administrators can create a group and include anyone as a group member. For groups created by a company admin, the group admin must be another company admin or a reviewer. Once a group admin has been assigned, only that group admin and company admin can edit the group settings and questions.

The other option for creating a group- reviewers can create their own groups that include anyone they have the ability to manage. Check the 'Manage people' page to see who can be included in your group.  

If you would like to learn more about the group permissions and visibility, please read this article. If you are a reviewer would like your team to be automatically managed as a group, read more about Smart Groups.

Create a group and/or group type: 

("I am using the new Group Types feature"- meaning you are creating group types and groups from your 'Manage groups' page.)

Some companies have the need for different types of groups, other than just 'Departments'. For example, you might have Squads, Divisions, Locations, Teams, etc. These subsets of your company should be created as 'Group types'. Within each of those group types, you will create groups. For example, you might have an 'R&D' group under the type 'Squads', a 'North America' group under the type 'Divisions', a 'New York' group under the type 'Locations', etc. Below are the steps to create group types and groups. 

1. Click on your avatar in your upper right hand corner. 

2. Click on 'Manage people'. 

3. Click on 'Manage groups' in your left hand navigation. 

4. You will see two default Group types- 'Groups' and 'Departments'. If those two groups suffice for your company structure, you can skip ahead to step 7. If you need to create additional group types, process to steps 5 & 6.

If you are a reviewer, you can also skip ahead to step 7. 

5. Create an additional group type by clicking the 'Create a new group type' button. Again, this functionality is only available to company admin.

6. Name your group type and 'Save'.
