INTRODL ION One of the features of VITA is the ability to create “groups” of records. Groups are “owned” by the agency that creates them Groups can be created on any topic that you think is relevant — i.e. Churches in the Niagara Region, Train Stations with Unique Architecture, My Favorite Pictures, etc. Groups and their content can be easily created, edited, and deleted by the owner agency Records can be assigned to one or more groups at the same time Groups can be publicly displayed or kept non-public and used for internal management purposes Groups can be shared (open to any agency to add) or exclusive (only your agency has access and can manage) Groups can be added to other Groups Groups can be “closed” to stop any new items being added
