Groups are saved filters over your roster. When a volunteer matches the filter criteria, they appear in the group automatically — no manual roster management needed.

Use the Group filter at the top of your dashboard to see metrics for just one group. Great for comparing program performance or running separate reports by team.
Create a group per homeroom or advisory period. Each teacher can then filter the dashboard to their own students without seeing the entire school.
