Group Types and Tags

Whether you are a club, organization or department, you are classified as a Group within our platform. Each group can be classified in three ways:

Group Types: Groups can only be assigned one Group Type (e.g., Registered Organization, Greek Life, Club Sports, Department, etc.). These are used to assign processes and permissions, such as a Group Registration or an Event Approval Process.
Group Category Tags: These tags allow you to create categories to assign to groups for searching, reporting, emailing, and filtering purposes. (e.g., Social, Arts, Philanthropic, Leadership, Academic, Living Learning Community, etc.). Groups can have multiple categories assigned to them.
Admin Group Tags: These allow administrators to tag groups on the administrative side (e.g., On Probation, Approved for Travel, Waiver Required, etc.).
