Subgroups are teams that you create under your main team. This way you can have several independent work spaces and can control access to different data more easily.
It is important to understand that subgroups are not a file organization system for the content you create with Maptionnaire. Instead, subgroups are a way to manage the people working within your organization and to ensure that not automatically have access to all information across departments, which they may not be authorized to view.
You can invite a person to just participate in one subgroup. Everyone with access to the main team automatically inherits access to all its subgroups. Any materials (maps, images, documents...) uploaded to a subgroup are only available in that specific group.
How to create a new subgroup:
Go to Manage teams and click the name of your team on the left-hand list.
Click Team settings on the right.
Navigate to the Subgroups tab.
Click the Add subgroup button.
Give the group a name in Team name
Click Create this subgroup. You should now found the subgroup listed under the main team in Team settings.
