Using an Existing Item Group

Item Group Editor saves the groups that you create. You can also create groups of items in the Table Editor using the item_report table. Item Group Editor lets you access these groups and archive or edit their data. You can sort and choose from the items in these groups to create additional groups of items.

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 use an existing item group

1 Do one of these options:
If Item Group Editor is not open, do these steps:
Start the Item Group Editor process.

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

Horizon opens the List Item Group Editor window and a Compound Search window.

Click Cancel twice.

Horizon displays an empty List Item Group Editor window.

Choose Group, Retrieve Group.
If you are already in Item Group Editor, choose Group, Retrieve Group.

Note: When you retrieve an existing group, Horizon replaces any existing data in the List Item Group Editor window. Make sure that you finish working with any existing data in the List Item Group Editor window before retrieving a group.

Horizon opens the Retrieve Group dialog box:

2 In the Group Name field, enter the name of the saved group that you want to use, or click Groups to choose from a list of existing groups.
3 Click OK.

Horizon displays the group items in the List Item Group Editor 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 a second copy of the group under the new name.

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