Group

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.

Create a group

To create a top-level Group

  1. Right-click the database in the Explorer Window.
  2. Select NewGroup from the popup menu. The New Name Group dialog is displayed.
  3. In this dialog, type a name for the Group or accept the default name.

For a lower-level Group, right-click on an existing Group in the Explorer Window and follow Steps 2 and 3 above.
