Department Groups
There are two types of Department Groups: Station and Organizational.
Station
groups have a physical address they relate to specific locations a user
is located at or responds out of. They should represent a physical
response location, or the location of where personnel/apparatus will
stage or are housed. Station Groups can also be responded to as a
detail. Users of the Resgrid Responder app or the Resgrid Unit app that
are responding to a station which will generate ETA's.
Organizational groups do not have a physical address, and users cannot select an organizational group to respond to. But Organizational groups can be sub-groups of existing groups. For example you have a top level group (Station or Organizational) with multiple Organization sub-groups under it. This can allow you to segment users under other groups.
Adding A Group
When you are logged into the web application as a Department Admin you need to go to the "Stations & Groups" page.
On the Groups page you can click the "Add New Group" button on the right to add a group.

this page you have 2 options Organizational Group and Station Group.
Station Groups require an address or GPS coordinates (i.e. some
physical location) while Organization groups do not.
