User Group

A user group is a way to group and categorize users that are in some way related. The main purpose of user groups is for grouping data in reports, but can also be used for setting up sampling rules.

Grouping can be any other organizational grouping, for instance

  • skill-wise (product loaders, inspection, operators etc)
  • shift-wise, for instance when dividing operators per shift (night, day)

Grouping is made in a hierarchy of user group categories, user groups and users.
A user can belong to several categories but only one group within that category.

See User Groups and Categories for example
