So let's look at the group viewer and how to go ahead and add groups from the group viewer. So as we're searching for groups, of course, at the top of the screen we can go ahead and change our search preference to group name and then, find the group that we'd . And if we if more than one group, matches that criteria, then we'll be brought to this screen which lists those groups. Now, if only one group matched the criteria, we'd be taken straight to the person, straight to the group detail page for that group. But another common way of finding groups is using the group viewer. So that's located under people group viewer. So let's go ahead and take a look at that. People group viewer. Okay. So in here, we'll see a tree view of the group structure that's been created. Now, this group tree view block has a lot of settings. So you can configure specific group types that will show up here and not show up here. You can also say what's the root that we wanna show it as. So out of the box, it's basically all all groups in the at the root will be shown and down. But you can say, what? I actually want to start showing just groups underneath this adult groups if I wanted to, if it had children groups. So this block here should be really looked at by an administrator and to see all the different options that you can do. Okay. So assuming now that we want to go ahead and add a group. So we can use this little drop down to say add group. And our options is to add it to the top level which puts it at the root or to add it a child to the group that we have selected. And when we do that, it automatically adds under the group that we selected and that parent group is automatically prefilled. Now note here, it's automatically also prefilled the group type And that's because that group that I selected to be the parent only allows one group type to be underneath it. So it's already preselected that for me. In a lot of cases, there'll be more than one in which case this is blank in it. We require you to pick it just to make sure that we get the right one. Okay. So let's go back to the group tree here. There's also little settings icon that will show up if you roll over this area and this gives you a few more options. So one option is to show only active groups or all groups, So, include inactive groups. And if you would to see a little account next to the group name. So, your options are to show how many child groups that group has or how many group members that specific group has. So, we say group members and it'll reload the page and we'll see that these top level groups, most of them don't have any group members. But as we start to drill down, you can start seeing how many group members each of those groups have. And that's stored as a user's preference. So if I come back tomorrow, that will be automatically configured to the way I left it. And so it's up to you to go ahead and change that. So that's the group viewer within Rock.
