A group type applies to a user group, user team, or privilege group. A group type defines the categories, category tabs, custom fields, and custom field tabs that are available to members of a user group or user team in NexJ CRM.

You manage group types for NexJ CRM and NexJ Admin Console in the User Group Types tab. You choose a group type when you create a user group, user team, or privilege group.
