# How to create subgroups
## Learn how to create subgroups on the Tector app to create a better overview of your sensors.
#### When you receive the sensors, all of them will be placed in one project group. For better overview and to compare sensor readings easily, we recommend you to divide the sensors into different subgroups. You can choose your own structure. You can, for example, divide sensors into different buildings, different floors or areas such as Facades, Roof, Basement, Wet Rooms. It can be beneficial to divide the subgroups based on the blueprints you want to upload.
