The following table provides an overview for the uses of order groups:

Activities

Create the order groups you require by proceeding as follows:

1. Enter the group to be created or changed and choose "Enter".
2. In the structure screen, select the node from which the group is to be extended and choose "Same level" or "Lower level".
Data fields appear at the selected location in the tree structure.
3. Enter a name and a text for the new node.
4. Confirm by choosing "Accept changes".
5. To assign values to an end node, select the node and choose "Insert value".
Data fields appear in the tree structure.
6. Enter a "From" value and, if necessary, a "To" value.
