Community Groups allow you to create groupings of communities within the Further Dashboard. If you are a senior living operator, you might want to create groupings based on regions or ownership groups. If you are an agency or ownership group, you may want to look at communities based on the operator. Once you have created groups, you can then filter any report within the dashboard based on that grouping.

Community Groups can be set up on both the Regional and Corporate user levels.  With Community Groups, you can group communities that belong to the same organization or have common properties. You can filter by community groups on the Stats and All Conversations tabs of your Further Dashboard. 

In this article, we'll go over everything you need to know to setup community groups and manage them. 

Note: This is not available for Community users. Only Regional users can group communities.

In your dashboard, navigate to Settings in the left menu and then select Community Groups in the submenu.
