The data in a database is organised into a flexible hierarchy, which groups the elements of the database into manageable units.
A Group can be used to represent the main divisions within the database as the top level of the hierarchy. A Group can contain one or more Model Groups and Network Groups.
Additional levels can be created in the database hierarchy by defining subsidiary groups within a top level Group. For example, if a Group represents a client, then this may contain a lower level Model Group for each major project with that client.
The Group and its contents are managed using the Explorer Window.
