Facility subgroups are a tool to allow the client of a radiology group the granularity to manage groupings of clients that their facility services.
Subgroups are typically only used for mobile imaging applications for facilities that service multiple institutions and need to provide custom report templates and user access accordingly. If this is not your use case, subgroups is unlikely to be the correct feature to meet your needs.
