The Group Division Lists system enables users of the Groups module to more easily manage and filter groups, from both a management and user perspective.

These items can be used multiple times for multiple lists.
- To create an Item click Manage Group Division Items > Create a new Division Item here
- Enter the Name of the Item in Group Division Name and
- The order in which you want it to appear in (Group Division Order)
