Groups

WordPress Plugin Staff List – Groups

Grouping gathers together records based on field content or category. It doesn’t add any data but only arranges how the records are displayed on a page. Each section starts with the group header and shows all the items belonging to the group.

Groups template doesn’t have a hierarchy option. Both categories and subcategories are displayed on the same level (group header > group content).
Groups are not recommended for large number of records. This option works well for small teams to arrange staff members by position or job function.
