Group Settings live inside your group and can be accessed from your group menu. Once selected, you will see four categories of settings: Personal Settings, Feature Settings (teams only), Owner Settings, and Feedback.
Available for all members, Personal Settings are where you can adjust your Notifications and Profile Visibility for this group only. One thing that sets GroupSpot apart from other platforms is that you can adjust your personal settings on a group-by-group basis. If you’re a team, and the admins let their members pick their subgroups, then you will see a third row for Subgroups. From there, pick the subgroups that you belong to or want to receive information about.
Available to Owners and Admins of teams only, the next grouping of settings are Feature Settings. Game Results are a list of games for all teams in your program in date order so that if you need to input scores of past games in one shot, you can. Roster Management is an alphabetical list order of your rostered players so you can easily click on a player and edit their roster attributes (number, position, height, weight, captain, etc.). Roster Settings are where you adjust which details appear on the roster cards, including custom roster fields. You can also choose who can edit the rosters, admins only or parents/players. The last item in feature settings are Seasons. This is where you create a new season when one season has ended and you’re ready to begin the next. This way team results, records, and rosters can be specific to the season.
There are a host of Owner Settings available only to owners to highlight. Info is where you record your group’s official name, headline, location, social media, about, and any rules you might have. Appearance is where you update your header image, avatar, and team colors if you’re a team. Content is where you can set your default view when you open your group to either Feed View or Calendar View. You can also turn timezones on your events and games for groups from different places. Members is an alphabetical list view of all your members. Select the person to open their profile and Manage Member if you want to promote, demote, or remove them from the group. Features is where you go to turn on and off different features that appear in your group menu. And finally, Organization, is where you go to create Subgroups, Sister Groups, or even clone your group.
The final category in your Group Settings, available to all members, is Feedback. This includes a direct link to the Help Center if you need a hand. It also has a second row for Actions. This is where an Owner can step down to either Admin or Member. An Owner can also archive a group if the group is inactive but they want to preserve it. Or an Owner can delete the group from this screen as well.
There’s a lot to digest in your Group Settings but we dig into each of these further below
