_LOFT Resource › Administration_

## Overview

Groups define the organizational structure of your team. They represent departments, divisions, locations, or any other grouping that helps you organize and filter your workforce.

## Managing Groups

-   Create groups to represent your organizational hierarchy
-   Groups can have multiple levels (e.g., Division > Department > Team)
-   Assign crew members to groups for organizational reporting
-   Groups are used as filter and summary options throughout the application

## Group Levels

Your administrator can configure custom group levels that match your organization's structure. Common examples include Division, Department, Location, and Studio. These levels appear as filter and summary options in the Role Planner, Cost Report, and Utilization Report.
