Configure Exhibit/Area Groups

Summary

The Exhibit Group Configuration tool is used to organize Areas/Exhibits under a common Group Name.  This can be quite useful, especially when managing many different exhibits or areas within a single facility. 

For example, if you have 50 aquarium exhibits, and you don't want each user to have to scroll through each one when entering daily feeding or maintenance records, you can simply organize small groups of areas/exhibits under a single group name.  This can make navigation much easier.  You might call a group "Fresh Water" and another group "Salt Water."  Then organize the specific exhibits under those headings.  

IMPORTANT:  You must create at least one group in the system in order to access your Areas/Exhibits within many of the Exhibit tools, as well as the mobile app.

How to create and assign Area/Exhibit Groups:

1. Click on Facility Settings (gear icon) and then click on the Exhibits Groups link.
   
   
2. To create an Area/Exhibit Group, click on the plus icon. 
3. This will launch a popup modal where you can enter a Group Name.  You can label these anything - it just needs to make sense to your team.
4. Press the Submit button to create the group.
   
5. Select an Area/Exhibit Group name from the drop-down menu.
6. Select an Area/Exhibit from the "Unassigned Area/Exhibits" panel on the left and click the right arrow (>) to move it to the "Assigned Areas/Exhibits" panel on the right.  Repeat this process for each area/exhibit you want included in the Group.
7. Click the green check mark to save.

These Group Names will now show up in the drop-down lists within many of the Exhibits tools; as well as the mobile app.
