Groups are used whenever two or more are gathered. You'll find groups to be simple but incredibly powerful. Rock comes pre-configured with several types of groups, including: Families: Each family is stored as a group. This is incredibly powerful because families get the same power and functionality as any other Group Type. In the beginning you'll want to leave families configured just the way you found them. As you create new Group Types and gain more experience with groups, keep in mind that you can add new attributes and additional functionality to the family Group Type.Security Roles: These groups help secure Rock data. While you'll use these groups a majority of the time for security, you'll soon discover that any group in Rock can act as a security role.Check-in Groups: Rock's check-in features use groups to store the locations where kids can check in, and to track attendance.Serving Teams: While we have big ideas for how serving teams will work in the future, we have configured a simple group type to get you started with tracking your groups.General Groups: It's likely that you'll be creating several groups that don't warrant their own specific Group Type. In these cases, feel free to create them as 'General Groups'.Application Groups: Rock needs to keep track of various lists of people. For instance, people who have opted out of getting future photo requests. These 'lists of people' are stored as Application Groups. Application groups can be viewed/managed under Small Groups: We've added a generic Small Group group type. Feel free to use this as a base to build from if your church has a groups ministry.Small Group Sections: This group type works in conjunction with the Small Group type and acts as a leadership level to provide hierarchy for your groups. Again, feel free to use this type as a launching point for getting started.
