Groups can be assigned to projects for fine-grained access control. If you assign a group to a project, only members who have access to that project will be able to view and manage the group. Please note that admins have access to all projects by default.

Search and Filter

Periskope provides a powerful search and filter feature to help you slice the list of groups and chats.

To search a group, simply start typing in the search bar on the top left of the screen. Periskope will automatically filter the list of groups based on the search query.

To filter the list of groups, click on the filter icon on the top right of the screen. This will open a filter panel on the right side of the screen. You can filter the list of groups based on the following criteria:

Project
label

You can filter the list of groups based on the project they are assigned to.

Admin status
number

You can filter the list of groups based on whether the central number is admin or not

An alert symbol will be displayed next to any group where the central number is not admin. Please fix this to ensure that the central number can take actions like adding / removing members.
Last active
date

You can filter the list of groups based on the date & time of the last message sent or received in the group. For example, you can filter the list of groups to show only those groups that have been active in the last 7 days
