Create Custom Groups

Yapla allows you to categorize the various elements of the application, thanks to the custom groups function.

If you want to group certain members, certain events, or certain articles, you can use the categories of each application.

Custom groups allow you to do this across the entire application. Learn how to create a group and how to assign it to different elements of Yapla.

Other tutorials at the end of this article will show you the different uses of custom groups.

Where to activate the Custom group function?

Available from the Plus plan, custom groups are available on the Services page of the settings of your Yapla platform:

The "Groups" menu allows you to define the groups that will be accessible through the entire application.
The button mceclip3.png directs you to an additional form. A group is defined by a name and a description.

On this page, you can view the list of your custom groups, search for groups, activate and deactivate existing groups.

Associate a member with a group

Once your custom groups have been created, you can assign them to various elements in the different Yapla applications. You can assign a group to a member, a contact, or an event.

In the Members application, in the "Members" menu, click on a member. In the member's menu, the “Groups” tile will allow you to define the groups associated with this member.
