Grouping Configuration Components
Groups help you organize processes, documents, and printer queues. For example, you may
create the Invoices, Checks and Reports groups in the Processes section and associate
individual processes with each one of these groups.
Items can only be grouped within their own category. Thus you can only group processes with
other processes, documents with other documents, and printer queues with other printer
queues. In the documents category, you can only group documents with others of the same
version and type. For example, you can only group documents from PlanetPress Design (files
with a PTK extension) with other PTK files, not with printer-resident documents.
You can also use groups to quickly assign multiple PlanetPress Design documents to multiple
printer queues. By dragging a group of documents to a printer queue, you assign all the
documents in the group to that queue.
To add a group in the Configuration Components pane:
l
In the Configuration Components pane, click a category and choose View > Arrange >
Group. A new group is added at the end of the category.
To add objects to an existing group:
l Drag-and-drop the objects onto the group. The objects are added as the last objects in the
group.
To remove objects from a group:
l Drag-and-drop the objects out of the group. The objects are removed from the group. If the
group becomes empty, you are prompted to confirm the deletion of the group.
To add selected objects to a new group:
l Select multiple objects that are not part of a group. Press CTRL+G. A new group is added
and the selected items are moved to that new group.
To ungroup selected objects:
l Select objects in a group and press CTRL+U.
