Creating groups

Groups let you segment participants into sub-competitions: departments, offices, regions, teams, or any other slice of your audience. Each group has its own leaderboard alongside the hub-wide one.

Creating a group

1. Go to Admin → Groups → New group
2. Enter a group name (e.g. “Marketing”, “Sydney Office”, “VIP Members”)
3. Optionally add a description
4. Click Create

The group is created immediately with no members. Add members next.

Adding members to a group

Manual assignment

1. Go to Admin → Groups → [Group name] → Members
2. Click Add members
3. Search by name or email and select participants
4. Click Add

CSV import

1. Click Import from CSV
2. Upload a CSV with one email address per row
3. Fanzava matches emails to existing participants and adds them to the group

Participants not yet in your hub are skipped. Invite them first, then add to the group.

At invite time

When inviting new participants, you can assign them to a group at the same time:

1. Go to Admin → Participants → Invite
2. After entering emails, select a group from the Assign to group dropdown
3. Send invites

Groups and competitions

Groups are hub-wide. Once created, they apply to every competition in your hub. Fanzava automatically creates a group leaderboard for each competition.

A participant can be in multiple groups simultaneously. Their score appears on all group leaderboards they belong to.

Tip

For corporate hubs, consider creating groups that mirror your org chart. Inter-department rivalries are one of the most effective engagement drivers: people who don’t care about the sport start caring when their department’s honour is on the line.

Note

Participants can see which groups they belong to in their profile. They cannot see the full member list of a group unless you enable group member visibility in Admin → Groups → Settings.
