Navigating Groups

Updated over a month ago

Groups in Mapiq help you coordinate with your team by sharing workspace and workday booking locations and seeing who's coming into the office. Understanding where to find your Groups and how to navigate between different views makes managing your team visibility effortless.

Whether you're checking who's in the office this week, adjusting group members, or customizing group settings, everything is accessible through the Connect tab with clear pathways between each view. Use the breadcrumb navigation at the top of your screen to move seamlessly between the Connect tab, Group overview, and Group settings pages.

Finding your Groups

Your Groups live in the Connect tab, which is one of the main navigation tabs in Mapiq. When you open the Connect tab, you'll see a dedicated Groups section at the top of the page, right above your connections list.

This section displays all Groups you're a member of, along with any pending invitations. Each Group shows its custom avatar (a combination of color and emoji) and name, making it easy to identify your teams at a glance. If you're not part of any Groups yet, this section will appear empty until you create a new Group or accept an invitation.

The Groups section also displays a count of Group members and gives you quick access to each Group's detailed overview. Simply click on any Group to open its full view and see member schedules.

Group overview

When you select a Group from the Connect tab, you enter the Group overview page. This is your central hub for seeing team attendance and member schedules.

The Group overview displays all confirmed members with their profile pictures and names. You can see both current members and pending invites, giving you full visibility into who has access to the Group's schedule information. The member count is clearly visible, helping you track group size at a glance.

Viewing member schedules

The timeline view shows each member's workday plans for the upcoming three weeks, helping you coordinate your office days with colleagues. Historical data is also available, letting you look back up to one month to see past attendance patterns.

Each member's booking information appears in the timeline, showing where they plan to work and when. This view makes it easy to spot trends, like which days your team tends to be in the office together, or to plan meetings when everyone is present.

Individual member profiles

Click on any Group member to open their individual connection profile page. This detailed view shows their complete schedule with booking information. You can explore both upcoming plans and historical data, giving you flexibility to see when a specific colleague was in the office or when they plan to be there.

Accessing Group settings

From the Group overview, you'll see a Group settings button. This takes you directly to the management interface where you can adjust the Group's configuration, add or remove members, or delete the Group entirely.

Group settings

The Group settings page is where you manage everything about your Group. All confirmed members have equal rights here, meaning anyone in the Group can make changes.

Editing Group details

You can change the Group name and customize the avatar by selecting from combinations of colors and emojis. These visual elements help you quickly identify Groups when you're part of multiple teams.

Managing members

The Members section shows all confirmed members and pending invites. You can add new members by clicking the + button and searching for colleagues by name or email address. Bulk invitation support lets you add multiple people at once using comma-separated email addresses, with a maximum of 30 invitees per Group.

To remove a member, click the trash can icon next to their name. A confirmation window appears before removal is finalized. Remember that removing someone means they lose access to other Group members' schedules unless those members are also connections.

Pending invites are tracked separately, showing who has been invited but hasn't yet responded. Invitations remain active for one month if ignored.

Leaving the Group

The Leave group button lets you exit the Group at any time. When you leave, you lose access to Group members' schedules unless they're also your connections. If you're the last member to leave, the Group is automatically deleted.

Deleting the Group

The Delete group button removes the Group for all members. A confirmation window prompts you to verify this action since it affects everyone. Once deleted, all members lose access to each other's schedules unless they're connected individually.

Using breadcrumb navigation

As you move between the Connect tab, Group overview, and Group settings pages, breadcrumb navigation appears at the top of your screen. These breadcrumbs show your current location and let you jump back to any previous level with a single click.

For example, from Group settings, you'll see breadcrumbs like: Connect > Group name > Group settings. Click Connect to return to your main Connect tab, or click the Group name to go back to the Group overview. This navigation pattern keeps you oriented and makes moving between views simple.

Behind the scenes

  • Groups are separated from your connections list. Joining a Group doesn't automatically add members as connections.

  • You can create unlimited Groups, but each Group has a maximum of 30 invitees.

  • Groups appear in the Week/Day view connection summary only when there aren't enough connections to fill available spots.

  • Group schedule visibility extends three weeks ahead and one month back.

  • All confirmed members have equal rights to invite, remove, edit, and delete.
