Monitoring contact group activity with group manager

Group manager tracks contact's group activity, allowing you to see what groups a contact belongs to, as well as when they joined or left a group. If you don't see any numbers as explained below, get in touch with your HTK account manager to make sure group manager is enabled.

Group manager via the contact record

Seeing what groups a contact is a member of

At the top of a contact record, under the contact's relationship scores, you'll see a list of groups the contact is a member of.

When hovering over a group name, the date and time the contact joined the group will be displayed, along with the current total contact count for that group. 

There are 3 different shades of purple/pink used to visualise group membership:

Dark purple: Last joined the group within the last 4 months and is still a member.
Lighter purple: Last joined the group within the last 4 to 8 months and is still a member.
Light pink: Last joined the group more than 8 months ago and is still a member.

Contact activity

A new tab has been added to contact activity called ‘Group Membership’ which provides an audit history of all groups a contact has joined and left. Each entry includes the group name, group type, date/time joined, date/time left (if relevant) and a description.

Search and segmentation

A new search filter has been added to the advanced contact search. 

1. Click 'Advanced search' under the contact search box, then click  
   
   
2. In the 'Select group' drop-down list, find 'Group membership changes'
   
   
3. Beside the field 'Group', click 'Select'
   
   
4. In the third box across from the 'Group' field, select your group and click 'Search'
   
   
5. You can also add in date/time search filters 'Last joined group' and 'Last left group'. You'll find them in the 'Group membership changes' group, as in step 2 above. These fields will only appear once you have added the 'Group' search filter to the advanced search.

Group events are visible in the smart stream. They are enabled by default and will show group join and group left events within the event stream. You can remove it from the smart screen by unticking the box to the right of the 'Group membership' event filter.
