Group Management Dashboard
Overview
The Group Management dashboard lets you organize racers into groups — by department, office location, ERG, or any other affinity. Groups provide organizational segmentation and their own leaderboards, separate from competitive teams.
Accessing the Dashboard
From your race's dashboard hub, click Group management in the sidebar under PEOPLE.
Groups vs. Teams
Groups and teams serve different purposes in Racery:
| Feature | Groups | Teams |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose | Organizational segmentation (departments, locations, ERGs) | Competitive units with shared goals |
| Leaderboards | Group standings for reporting | Real-time competitive leaderboards |
| Route avatars | No | Optional team avatars on the map |
| Message boards | No | Team-only chat |
| Finish awards | No | Team performance awards |
Tip: A racer can belong to both a group and a team simultaneously. Use groups for reporting (e.g., "Which department logged the most miles?") and teams for competition.
Creating Groups
Click + to create a new group. Give each group a clear name that racers will recognize (e.g., "Marketing", "NYC Office", "Veterans ERG").
Common group structures:
- By department: Engineering, Marketing, Sales, HR
- By office: New York, London, Remote
- By ERG: Women in Tech, Veterans, Pride
- By role: Leadership, Individual Contributors, Interns
Assigning Racers
Racers can be assigned to groups in several ways:
- Manual assignment: Add racers to groups from the dashboard
- Coupon auto-assignment: Link a coupon code to a group — racers who use the code are automatically placed in that group
- Self-selection: Allow racers to choose their group during registration
Group Leaderboards
Groups appear in the race's leaderboard and can be used to filter standings. This is useful for sponsors who want to see which department or office is most active, or for reporting engagement metrics by organizational unit.
Group data also appears in exported reports — the CSV export includes a "Groups" column for each racer.
