Group-level transparency lets members of a defined group view each other's Check-ins and drill down into their teammates' direct reports. After completing this setup, all group members can see one another's Check-ins within 15Five.
Before You Begin
- You must have Admin access in 15Five.
- All people you want to include in the group must already exist as users in your account.
- Decide the scope of your group: a single all-company group for full organizational transparency, a team or department group, or a leadership-only group for executive visibility.
Steps
- Go to Settings → People → Manage Groups.
- Select an existing group type or click Create new group type.
- Enter a name for the group type (for example, Department or Leadership).
- Open the group where you want to add members.
- Click Add members.
- Search for and select each person to include in the group.
- Click Save to confirm the member list.
- Locate the Group viewing toggle for the group.
- Enable Group viewing.
- Locate the Group drill-down toggle for the group.
- Enable Group drill-down.
- Click Save to apply both settings.
> For full organizational transparency: Create one group that includes every employee, then complete steps 8–12.
If Something Goes Wrong
| Issue | Check | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| A group member cannot see another member's Check-ins | Confirm both users are in the same group | Open the group in Manage Groups and verify both names appear in the member list |
| Group viewing or Group drill-down toggles are not visible | Confirm you are viewing the correct group type | Navigate back to Manage Groups, select the specific group type, and look for the toggles on that group's settings page |
| A newly added member still has no visibility | Confirm the user logged out and back in after being added | Ask the user to sign out and sign back in to refresh their permissions |
| Changes were not saved | No confirmation appeared after saving | Repeat steps 8–12 and watch for a confirmation message before navigating away |
