Introduction & Best Practice
Groups in Delogue help structure workflows and maintain clarity by organizing data of styles and compliance certificates and standards, by purpose or compliance. While optional, using groups is highly recommended - examples are available in each category. Clear group definitions in Admin ensure consistency, improve searchability, and support scalable product development and compliance.

Groups For Styles
Under the 'Groups' option in the Admin section, you can organize your style groups, which will appear as a dropdown menu in the style header. These groups are also available as filters when browsing or managing styles, making it easier to sort and navigate your product range.
For example, you might group your styles by fabric type - such as knit, denim, or woven. While using categories to organize styles by product type, such as t-shirts, dresses, or pants. Read more about how to set up categories here.
In addition, you can filter styles by setting up custom fields for more specific attributes or classifications. Read more about how to set up custom fields here.

Groups For Compliance
When working with certificates and standards you have the option to assign each certificate and standard to a category and a group in the header information - similar to how you organize styles. To enable this functionality, you must first set up the available categories and groups in the Admin section. These options will then appear in the dropdown menu when creating a new certificate or standard.
Groups can for example help to organize certificates by their purpose or focus, such as Sustainability, Chain of Custody, Social Responsibility and Product Safety. While for example, you might want to create categories based on product types such as Fibers, Textiles, and Footwear. Read more about how to set up categories here.
For additional filtering options, you can filter certificates by setting up custom fields for more specific attributes or classifications. Read more about how to set up custom fields here.
