Hi Murod,
Yes, that would be a use of the group set functionality which would need of
course to be implemented in some way. Whether it be implemented in the
core, through a custom module or set of scripts running on the server is
really more an implementation problem I guess.  However the advantage of
designing it with the way which I mentioned, would be that all of the other
analytical tools would work out of the box, with the defined group sets.
You might in addition to performing certain calculations based on orgunit
group type, simply aggregate data according to group type, which would not
be possible with the standard tools (PivotTables, GIS, DataVisualizer, etc)
when the group is defined in the phone number!

I still think implementing it this way would be best, then your specific
functionality (implemented as a module or part of the core) would of course
need to be implemented.

I know the India team has a custom RBF module, but I am not sure if this is
what you are after.

Best regards,
Jason
