The companies in the Address Book are organized by categories called Company Groups and Subgroups.  The categorization of companies is important in TriBuild CM because it helps define what types of companies are visible in menus throughout the TBCM system.  Company Groups and Subgroups can be managed in the Admin Settings.

Company Groups

Company Groups are categories that help define what type of company is being added to the Address Book. Groups can't be added, changed or deleted.  There are 9 Company Groups.
