Settings with WorkHeavy
At WorkHeavy, it's important to us that our users have the tools that work best for their goals. That is why we try to offer as much flexibility and customization as possible. If our users require more customization, we always welcome feedback in making the platform better. We also understand that some users are a part of a bigger team or multiple teams and need customization per team. That is why we created Groups.
What are Groups?
In WorkHeavy, Groups are simply a collection of users with their own data and settings. By having different groups, users are able to use the platform for different purposes without having to create multiple accounts.
For example, let's say you are a freelance website developer. As a freelance website developer, you work with multiple clients on different projects. You then use WorkHeavy to track and manage all of your projects and want to share that progress with each client. It is important that you keep each client's data separate and private. The solution is to create 2 groups within WorkHeavy and invite each client to their respective group. By doing this, each client can not only keep their data separate but also customize WorkHeavy best to their needs.
Another great use of Groups is for personal use. You can easily create a new Group where you are the only member and utilize the tools for your personal life. Perhaps you are planning a vacation and want to create a Data Set of all of the possible hotels, including the price, a link to the website, and a photo of the room. A Group made just for you or you and your family would work great for this.
