Why Group Settings Matter

The right group configuration ensures:

  • Staff can efficiently document services
  • Members receive appropriate care and support
  • Documentation meets compliance requirements
  • Service tracking aligns with billing needs

Save time by configuring settings once and importing them to multiple groups! Instead of manually configuring each group’s settings, you can set up one group exactly how you want it, then use the import feature to copy those same settings to all your other groups.
