Creating a Formal Item Group Using an Existing Item Group

Item Group Editor–Status Only saves the groups that you create. You can sort and choose from the items in these groups to create a new group.

A group created by someone else may have been created for a specific reason. Do not make any changes to a group or the items in it without checking with the person who created it. (For more information, see your system administrator.)

To create a formal item group using an existing item group

1 If Item Group Editor–Status Only is not open, do these steps:
a Activate the Item Group Editor–Status Only process.

The default location of this process is the Administration\Group Editor Menu folder on the navigation bar.

b Click Cancel twice.

Horizon displays an empty List Item Group Editor–Status Only window.

2 Choose Group, Retrieve Group.

Horizon opens the Retrieve Group dialog box:

3 Enter the name of the saved group that you want to use (or click Groups to choose from a list of existing groups) and click OK.

Horizon displays the group items in the List Item Group Editor–Status Only window.

4 If you want to leave the original group unchanged, do these steps:
a Choose items from the group to create a new group. (To highlight the entire list, choose Edit, Select All.)
b Choose Group, Create Group to save the items you chose as a new group.

Horizon opens the Create Group dialog box:

If you have previously opened a group during this session, Horizon displays the name of that group in the Group Name field.

c Enter a new name in the Group Name field.

You can add a date as part of the name to help you keep your groups organized.

d Click OK.

Horizon saves the new group under the new name.

5 You can now choose or edit the items in the group.
