Assigning People to Groups

After creating your Groups, you will want to make sure that each person in your church database is assigned to their respective Groups. There are two ways to assign groups your people:

  • Add Groups(s) to One Person
  • Add a Group to Multiple People (Fastest)
  • Editing Group Assignments

Add Group(s) to One Person

Select the person's name on the People Screen and select that person's Groups tab. This will list every group to which the person is currently assigned. Select the Add Groups button and begin selecting the Groups(s) that apply to this individual.

Adding a group to an individual in your Church Database

After selecting the Groups that apply to the individual, select "Done" at the bottom of your display. The Groups tab will refresh to show all the groups that have been added. You can drag and drop these Groups into any order you wish.

Selecting groups on a person in ChurchTrac Church Management Software

You can add a short note to each Group assignment if needed. Select one of the person's assigned groups, then type a note in the dialog. You can also delete a group assignment from here if needed.

Add A Group to Multiple People

This option involves using the bulk edit feature to quickly add multiple names to a specific group. To begin, open the People Screen and start checking the box next to the people who need to be assigned to a particular Group. Once all the names are checked, select the "Actions" button and select "Bulk Edit".

Bulk Edit Action in your Church Management Software

Make this process even faster by first choosing a Smart List, then selecting the "Check All" button. This automatically checks all the matching names in the list.

Check all names in your Church Software

From the dropdown menu, select "Add a Group" and choose the Group you want to manage. Then select the "Apply Bulk Changes" button.

Adding a selected group in your Church Database

Repeat this process as needed until everyone has been assigned to the appropriate group.

If you use the church attendance or check-in features, you can also add people to a group from those screens. Typically, however, you'll want to use the People Screen for assigning and managing groups.
