Organising small groups using Labels
In this article
Introduction
Labels can be used to organise and filter small groups. A group can have multiple labels assigned. There's no limit to the number of labels you can add or the number of response options each Label can have.
Managing labels
Working in the Labels section of the Small Groups module, click Add label.
On the Add label pop-up, enter a suitable Name and choose a Colour. Next, add Responses as appropriate. Use the drag handles to change the order of responses. The Label Type determines whether a Single response or Multiple responses can be assigned to a group. You can also tick to make a response Required when adding or editing a group. Click Save to add the Label.
Continue adding other Labels as needed. Note the label actions to Edit, Delete and View changes and the drag handles to change the Order that Labels are shown when managing and filtering groups. Clicking on a response counter opens a filtered list of groups with that response. Deleting a label will remove it from all groups.
Working with labels
Labels can be assigned when adding or editing a group - illustrated here on the Add group pop-up. See the related article for further information on Adding small groups.
You can also bulk assign Labels to multiple selected existing Groups. Optionally apply Filters and select Edit from the Bulk Actions...
On the Bulk Edit pop-up, tick the appropriate Labels and responses to be assigned to the selected groups:
Assigned Labels are shown on an event View page on the Details tab:
Labels can be used as Filters in the Groups and Members sections of the module, enabling you to find groups and group members matching selected Label responses and other criteria:
Also, many Small Groups module Reports can be further filtered by selected Label responses.
There are Label conditions for use in Smart Tags, enabling you to produce lists of people in labelled groups and roles.
Finally, in addition to helping Users organise and filter groups in the Small Groups module, Labels can be used to help website visitors filter and find groups of interest on your website. See the related support article for instructions on how to Embed small group lists and maps on your website.
