# Intent Groups

> How Intent Groups work in the Portal (cross-application organization)

An **Intent Group** is a cross-application grouping that lets you view and manage related behavior across your company.

In the Portal, Intent Groups are the natural “shared layer” for:

* monitoring (fault rate + Sentinels)
* testing (Test Sets)
* datasets and compositions (for fine-tuning workflows)
* shared configuration

## Where to find Intent Groups

Use the left sidebar:

* **Intent Groups**: opens the Intent Groups list (`/intent-groups`)

## Intent Groups list

The Intent Groups list shows a table with:

* **Intent Name**
* **Date Created**
* **Last Activity**
* **# Requests**

Click a row to open an Intent Group detail page (`/intent-group/:intentGroupId`).

<Note>
  The Portal’s empty state message indicates that intent groups appear once you create intents with the same action type.
</Note>

## Intent Group detail page

An Intent Group page includes:

* breadcrumb navigation back to Intent Groups
* the **intent group name**
* a **description** and **tags** (as displayed from intent group metadata in the Portal)

### Tabs on an Intent Group

The Portal Intent Group page includes these tabs:

* **Overview**
* **Intents**
* **Requests**
* **Sentinels**
* **Models**
* **Configuration**
* **Test Sets**
* **Datasets**

#### Overview

The Overview tab is the top-level health view for the group, including:

* key metrics (total requests, last activity, created date)
* analytics charts:
  * **Request Activity**
  * **Fault Rate**

#### Intents

The Intents tab lists all intents (application actions) in the group, across applications.

The table includes:

* **Application** (clickable link back to the Application page)
* **Intent**
* created date
* last activity
* request count

Clicking a row opens the intent detail page (`/application/:applicationId/intent/:actionId`).

#### Requests

The Requests tab shows request history for the entire group, with:

* a date range filter
* a paginated requests table (including an Application column)

#### Sentinels

The Sentinels tab is where you manage the group’s Sentinels:

* create a new sentinel via **New Sentinel**
* browse existing sentinels in a table
* open/edit a sentinel from the table

For the full Sentinel workflow, see [Sentinels](/observe/sentinels/overview).

#### Models

The Models tab shows models associated with this intent group (as presented in the Portal’s models table).

#### Configuration

The Configuration tab exposes intent-group-level configuration with:

* **Reset to Default**
* **Save Changes**

This is where you set shared defaults that apply across the intents in the group.

For configuration field details, see [Configuration](/examples/configuration).

#### Test Sets

The Test Sets tab is the intent-group-scoped entry point for Test Sets:

* create a test set via **New Test Set**
* browse and manage test sets for the group

See [Test Sets](/test/test_sets/creation).

#### Datasets

The Datasets tab is labeled **“Datasets & Compositions”** and includes:

* **New Composition** and **New Dataset** buttons (jumping into Forge with this intent group pre-selected)
* sub-tabs for:
  * **Datasets**
  * **Compositions**

## How Intent Groups relate to Applications and Intents

* An **Application** contains **Intents**.
* An **Intent Group** collects those intents across applications.

Use Intent Groups when you want to manage shared quality bars and workflows (Sentinels, Test Sets, datasets) across many apps at once.
