# Groups

All metrics are available in the context of a group, or cohort of people.  A group can represent a team of people, like the Engineering Team or Marketing Team.  A group can also be defined by a behaviour, like  Early Birds, or Night Owls.

Groups can be inferred, meaning InnerSpace will use algorithms to decide which people are included in a particular group.  For example, members of the ***Engineering Team*** group might be inferred by how frequently they visit the Engineering Team area.  Similarly, members of the ***Early Birds*** group may represent all people who consistently come to the office before 7am.

Groups can also be explicitly defined by providing a list of MAC addresses.  This ensures group membership exactly matches your internal team.
