Groups in Equip are a powerful way to organize and engage users—whether they’re friends, classmates, clients, or caseloads. Groups help you streamline assignments, simplify communication, and manage multiple individuals at once.


💡 What Are Groups For?

Groups in Equip serve two key purposes:

  1. Organizing Users

    Assign events, routines, or assessments to multiple people in a single click. Groups help admins and mentors work more efficiently by categorizing users based on shared needs or relationships.

  2. Group Chat (Optional)

    Enable secure, real-time messaging between group members directly in the Equip app. These chats can be moderated, edited, or deleted by admins to ensure a safe communication environment.

Groups are flexible and can be customized to fit how your organization works—think: classrooms, roommates, activity groups, or support teams.


👀 What You’ll See on the Groups Page

The Groups page lists all your organization’s groups, along with:

  • Group names

  • Number of members

  • Chat status (enabled/disabled)

  • Quick links to manage the group

Click any group to view or update its members, permissions, and chat settings.
