Groups

Overview

Groups is the navigation-tree entry for object groups in AnalyticsCreator. Use it to maintain named groups, review the objects assigned to a group, and apply a group as the active diagram scope.

Function

The Groups node sits under the Data warehouse root. It lists groups by name and provides commands for maintaining group definitions from the project tree.

List groups and Add group open the Groups dialog, where users can create or edit group records, maintain descriptions, define workflow-related settings, and save or cancel changes. Existing group items also provide commands to edit the group, list the objects assigned to it, lock or unlock the group, delete it, or apply it to the diagram.

Set diagram filter selects the group in the main window's Group selector and refreshes the diagram so the model is shown through that group scope. A locked group displays the user who currently holds the lock, helping teams avoid conflicting group edits.

Access

Open the Groups node from the Data warehouse navigation tree. Use the node context menu to refresh the branch, list groups, or add a group. Use an existing group's context menu to manage that group or apply it to the diagram.
