What is a Custom Group? How do I create one?
A Custom Group* allows you to create and view custom groups along with existing aggregate reporting.
Creating a Custom Group requires that a storecode be assigned to the location(s) that will be used.
Single Creation
- In the Manage Locations dashboard, use the Manage Bulk Activity dropdown menu and select create Custom Group.
- In the pop-up, storecodes can be added and assigned a group name.
- Note: When creating a group with two or more storecodes, each storecode requires its own line break for a successful upload.
- Once finished, use the blue OK button to Save changes.
Example:
Bulk Creation
- In the Manage Location in the Bulk dashboard, go to the brown Platform tab and let the sheet load.
- Once loaded, using the CustomGroup column, you can assign each of your locations to their own custom group.
- Note: A single location can exist in multiple groups - To do so, separate each group by a comma. (Example in Row 2, 7 and 9)
- Once finished, use the red Update button in the right-hand corner to Save changes.
- *Custom Groups were previously known as Entity Tags. This change in language will be reflected throughout the platform.
