Overview

When navigating through the Projects and Groups modules, users will find several common functionalities that consolidate content management and accessibility.


Search

Both Groups and Projects allow users to search by entering relevant keywords. The search function scans both the title and content of the item.


Sorting Options

Each module provides sorting options to organize content alphabetically or by their latest activity, with the option to choose ascending or descending order.


Filtering Options

Users can refine their view using filters:

  • Projects: Filter by All Projects, Projects you belong to, Archived Projects, or Project Templates.

  • Groups: Filter by All Groups, Groups you belong to, Archived Groups, or Location Based Groups.

These workspaces can be sorted by Categories as well.


View Customization

The Groups and Projects modules offer two display options:

  • Grid View

  • List View


Export of Group/Project Email IDs

Both Groups and Projects offer the option to export Email IDs for the spaces in the module. The export will download a vCard or CSV file that contains the names, email addresses of all your groups. This file can be imported into your email client and can be added to external contact list.

The Group/Project email is automatically generated upon creation of the workspace. This email enables members to send updates directly to the workspace news feed via email.


Differences Between Groups/Projects

Groups and Projects share many similarities, but they differ in key functionalities. The main distinction is that admins can create Project templates, while Groups do not support templates. Additionally, users can be automatically added to Groups through AD/LDAP mapping, whereas Projects require manual user assignment or import via CSV.

Admins can create Project workspace templates for users within a domain to ensure consistency, efficiency, and ease of use. A couple reasons admins may want to use templates are:

  • Standardization – Templates help enforce best practices, ensuring all users follow a consistent structure for projects, reducing confusion and inefficiencies.

  • Time-Saving – Instead of starting from scratch, users can quickly set up projects with pre-configured settings, tools, and structures tailored to their needs.

  • Scalability – As teams grow, standardized templates make it easier to onboard new users and ensure they adhere to organizational workflows without extensive training.

  • Compliance & Governance – Ensures that all projects adhere to company policies, industry regulations, or legal requirements.

Admins can map LDAP fields to Group information in MangoApps, ensuring that user data remains consistent and up to date. When a mapping is specified, the corresponding values from AD/LDAP will override the existing information in MangoApps during the next sync. Since all mapped values are managed by AD/LDAP, this approach helps maintain accuracy, ease user management, and automate group assignments based on directory data.
