Organising with groups

Group your sites to keep your dashboard tidy as your site list grows.

Overview

When you're monitoring a handful of sites, a flat list works perfectly well. But once you're tracking ten, twenty, or more, it helps to organise them. Groups let you bundle related sites together by client, project, environment, or whatever makes sense for your team. Grouped sites appear as collapsible sections on your dashboard, making it easier to focus on what matters right now.

Creating a group

1. Select the sites you want to group

   On your dashboard, use the checkboxes on the left of each site row to select two or more sites. A toolbar appears at the top with bulk actions.

2. Click Group

   In the toolbar, click the Group button. A modal opens where you can either create a new group or add the selected sites to an existing one.

3. Name your group

   If you're creating a new group, type a name. Something descriptive works well, like "Production", "Marketing sites", or a client name. Then click Create group.

   To add the sites to an existing group instead, switch to the Existing tab, select the group, and click Add to group.

Once you've created a group, the dashboard switches to a grouped layout automatically. Each group appears as its own card with a header showing the group name and site count.

How groups work on your dashboard

Collapsible sections

Each group is a collapsible section. Click the group header to expand or collapse it. This is handy when you want to focus on one set of sites without being distracted by the rest.

Adding sites directly to a group

Every group section has its own Add site button in its header. When you add a site this way, it's automatically placed into that group. No need to move it afterwards.

Ungrouped sites

Sites that aren't in any group appear in a section called "Your sites" at the top of the dashboard. Move them into a group at any time using the bulk selection flow described above.

Filtering by group

Use the group filter in the dashboard toolbar to show only sites from a specific group. This is a quick way to check on one client's sites or one project without scrolling through everything else.

Moving sites between groups

To move sites from one group to another, select the sites using the checkboxes, click Group, and choose the new group. The sites will be moved out of their current group and into the one you select.

Removing sites from a group

To take sites out of a group without deleting them, select the sites and click Ungroup in the toolbar. The sites move back to the ungrouped "Your sites" section.

Groups are for organisation, not permissions

Groups are purely a way to organise your dashboard view. They don't affect who can see or manage a site. Everyone on your team can see all sites, regardless of which group they're in.
