Participant Groups can be used to be able to organize the individuals that are contributing in the decision process for a given model. Participant Groups can be created like “tags” to be able assign an attribute for given model participants. These groups are flexible and open ended so can represent anything that the decision facilitator desires whether it be Organizational group (Finance, R&D, Operations, etc), Representative Region (North, South, East, West), or any other type of attribute that is meaningful for organizing decision participants.
The additional classification of Participants by Group enables more detailed insights into decision results to a lower level of granularity with the ability to analyze data filtering views based on individual Participant Group inputs.
