Groups

Some groups are naturally hierarchical.

A school may have departments and classes. An association may have a central body and local chapters. A company may have divisions, teams, and committees.

In Clozeu, this can be represented by a Structured Group.

A Structured Group is hierarchical. It allows the organisation to reflect recognised levels of responsibility and relationships between different parts of the group.

The purpose is not to impose hierarchy where none exists. It is to support organisations that already have meaningful structure.

For example, a national association may need some matters to sit at the national level while local chapters manage their own activities. A school may want each class or department to have its own identity while remaining part of the wider institution.

The structure helps clarify where something belongs, who is involved, and which level of the organisation is responsible.

Clozeu does not assume that every group should work the same way.

A Standard Group can remain flat and member-led. A Structured Group can reflect the hierarchy that already exists in the real organisation.
