Adding a New Group
Adding a New Group
Why groups matter
Groups are how PhishGrid knows who to target in each campaign. A well-structured group setup lets you:
- Run campaigns on specific teams or departments without selecting users individually
- Analyse results by group (Finance vs Engineering, UK vs India, etc.)
- Assign training to only the users who need it
Before creating a group, decide what it will be used for. The most useful groups are specific and meaningful — "Finance - London" is more useful than "Group 3".
Steps
1. Go to Targets → All Groups
Click Targets in the left sidebar, then click All Groups.
2. Click "Add new group"
3. Enter a group name
Use a clear, descriptive name. Good examples:
Finance - APACIT AdminsNew Hires - March 2026Executive TeamPreviously Clicked
4. Select members
A list of your targets will appear. Check the box next to each user you want to add to the group.
Tip: Use the search/filter to find users quickly in large target lists.
5. Click "Submit"
The group is created and ready to use in campaigns.
