Configuring WebSked groups

Use the Groups page in WebSked settings to set up your organization's groups, task triggers, and group notifications.

WebSked groups are not linked to Arc XP's permission groups or Okta settings set by your administrator.

WebSked groups allow you to group task triggers and notifications for streamlined management. Create groups based on desks (Sports, Local), roles (Photo, Editors), or combinations (Sports Editors, Homepage). Having multiple groups enables precise task assignment and claiming within your organization.
