Classic Groups

The functionality described below pertains to the "classic Groups" functionality. If you were an Oracle Taleo Learn customer prior to LearnCenter software release 14.6, your LearnCenter will continue to use the classic Groups functionality until you elect to migrate to the new Groups functionality. If you became a customer after release 14.6, your LearnCenter contains the new Groups functionality. See Dynamic Groups for information about the new Groups functionality.

You can add and edit Groups and Subgroups to help manage your Users and reflect your organization’s structure. Adding subgroups to a group gives you the flexibility to reflect the multiple levels of your organization’s hierarchy and adds granularity for reporting and assigning. For example, you may want to group all of your sales representatives into a group called Sales Reps, and then add subgroups for each region in which the sales reps work.

When referring to groups, a category is a group of subgroups. Ideally, the categories you add will contain subgroups with some sort of logical relationship to each other. A category can be thought of as a container for the subgroups in it. All subgroups must be linked to a category. Likewise, if you add another layer of subgroups under an existing subgroup, another category must be associated to that new layer.

If you link a group to an existing category, you are adding that category and its entire subgroup structure under that group. If you delete a category from a group, the subgroup structure associated with that category is also deleted.

A group can link to only one category, but multiple groups can link to the same single category. When Users are added to a subgroup, however, they are unique to their parent group and will not be part of another parent group that links to the same category.
