Community Banking Tracker Dilemma

Some background information: I work for an organization that provides
financial literacy courses and helps to create savings groups.
How: We approach existing groups and organizations (ex: an artisan group)
and present the opportunity. Some members choose to participate, others
don't.

In an ideal world, I (personally) could create a system that:
1st, registers the group (Leader's info, location, size, mission)
(Case:Group)
then, within that group, register each of the participants. (Case:
Participant)

Why:
I need to track the individual's development (attendance, savings, surveys)
as well as the group's development (rules created, meetings tracked, total
savings) over time.

track and distinguish 2 different Case Types.

Question 1: Am I understanding this correctly, or is it somehow possible to
track two cases in one module as I'm describing?
Question 2: If I create a separate Module for each Case (Participant,
Group) would it be possible to link information from the forms across those
two modules?
Ex: If I update each Participant's savings in Meeting A in Module 1, I
could create a Hidden Value in Module 2 that gathers each Participant's
savings and totals them to create the value: Group Savings Meeting A. Is
this possible?

Any and all feedback welcome. I've tried to be clear but if I can clarify
more, let me know. Thank you!

··· From my understanding, this is not possible as it would require 1 module to

Hey Isabel,

This is definitely supported! Check out the documentation on child cases
