Property groups

Group properties by building, area or owner to filter lists and to limit what people can see.

What this page is for

Groups collect properties together, for example all flats in one building or all homes in one town. Lists can be filtered by group, and a user can be limited to the properties of a group. Groups can sit inside other groups.

Who can use it

How to manage groups

  1. To add a group, enter a Name, optionally choose which group it sits Inside, and select Add group.
  2. To rename or move a group, change it in the list and select the tick button.
  3. To delete a group, select the bin button. Its properties stay, without a group.

Fields and columns

Column Meaning
Name The group's name, up to 120 characters.
Inside The parent group, or Top level.
Order Lower numbers are listed first.

Statuses and automation

Groups have no status. Limiting a user to a group also gives them its sub-groups, and properties added to the group later.

None.

FAQs

Can a property be in two groups? No. Use sub-groups for more detail.

Troubleshooting

Problem What to do
"A group can't sit inside itself" Choose a parent that isn't the group or one of its sub-groups.
