Group name

Enter a name for your group (e.g., "VIP Customers", "Mumbai Region", "Campaign Jan 2025"). The Save button shows the number of contacts currently selected.

Two tabs

The screen has two tabs:

TabShows
All ContactsEvery contact, with the filter panel — use it to find and select members
Selected (N)Only the contacts you've already added — switch here to review your selection before saving

Finding contacts with filters

On the All Contacts tab, use the Include Filters panel on the left to narrow the contact table:

FilterDescription
SearchMatch by name or mobile number
State / CityFilter by location (City becomes available after a State is chosen)
ReligionFilter by religion
Custom FieldsAny custom fields you've defined — text, dropdown, multi-select, or number range
Exclude GroupsLeave out contacts who belong to selected groups, even if they match the other filters

The table updates as you change filters. The toolbar shows how many contacts match and how many are selected.

Selecting contacts

  • Tick the checkbox on any row to add or remove that contact.
  • Click Select All to add every contact matching the current filters (not just the current page) — the button shows the total matched count.
  • Click Clear to deselect everything.
  • Use the Columns button to choose which contact details (including custom fields) appear in the table.
Build a group by filter

The fastest way to build a large group is to set filters (e.g. State = Maharashtra, a custom field = "Premium"), then click Select All — every matching contact is added at once. Optionally exclude an existing group to avoid overlap.

Click Save Group to create it, or Cancel to discard.


Groups Table

The main table shows all your groups with the following columns:

ColumnSortableDescription
NameYesThe group name
Number of ContactsYesHow many contacts are in the group

Viewing a Group

Click the View action (eye icon) on a group to see its members.

1. Click the View (eye) icon on any group with several contacts
2. Capture the dialog showing contacts organized alphabetically with letter headings

In the view dialog, contacts are displayed alphabetically and grouped by their first letter (A, B, C, etc.). Each contact shows:

  • Avatar with an online indicator
  • Contact name

This gives you a quick overview of everyone in the group.


Editing a Group

Click the Edit action (pencil icon) on a group to open the same full-page screen, pre-filled for that group.

2. Capture the full-page screen showing the pre-filled group name and the Selected tab with the current members

Editing works exactly like creating, but:

  • The group name is pre-filled (you can change it)
  • The current members are already selected — open the Selected tab to review them
  • Use the filters on the All Contacts tab to add more members, or untick rows to remove them

Click Save Group to apply your changes.


Deleting a Group

Click the Delete action (trash icon) on a group to delete it.

warning

Deleting a group does not delete the contacts in it — it only removes the group itself. The contacts remain in your contact list.

You'll see a confirmation prompt before the group is deleted.


Filtering by Status

Use the Status filter above the table to show only active or inactive groups.


Mobile View

On smaller screens, groups are displayed as cards instead of a table. Each card shows:

  • Group name
  • Status chip
  • Number of contacts
  • Action buttons (View, Edit, Delete)

Pagination

At the bottom of the table, you can:

  • Navigate between pages using Previous and Next buttons
  • Choose how many groups to show per page: 25, 50, or 100

The default is 25 groups per page.
