With Jibble’s time tracking tool, creating groups allows you to sort team members into relevant groupings for better management. Groups can be created based on work location, department or any team of people that have similar work activities. This feature is particularly helpful for admins and managers who need to structure their teams for clearer oversight.

This article covers:

Creating a group

Creating a group on mobile

To form a group, there are two methods:

  1. Go to Menu > Groups tab and click the + icon on the top right corner to add a new group.
  2. Or, go to Menu > Members tab, bulk select members, and click on Create new group. 

By doing either of these, you should be able to input your group name and click save.

Important❗️: Anyone can only be a part of ONE group at a time. Managers, admins and owners are still able to manage multiple groups, without being a part of them.

Configuring groups

After creating your groups, there are a few other things you can configure on the mobile app. For more information on configuring group settings via the web app, read our web article on creating and managing groups.
