  12. This view shows a selection at the top to pick the group type you are reviewing and then the first column shows the number of employees in each group and the change in count in the group. On the right-hand side, you can see employees who were added or removed from the group.
  13. If you need to make a change to a group name so that the new group lines up with the existing group you can update it by finding the appropriate group that it should be matched to using the drop-down.
