Working with Data Groups

Document types and data can be arranged in groups. For example, you could create groups based on the
different types of witnesses in a case, such as defense witnesses, expert witnesses, and plaintiff witnesses.
You can select a group when you are preparing reports or creating searches to ensure all document types
and data you need are included.

Creating a Data Group

To create a data group, complete these steps:

1. Click the New arrow on the Main Menu toolbar, then choose Data Group from the menu. The Data Group

Properties dialog box is displayed.

2. Type the name of the group, e.g., Defense Witnesses, in the Name text box.

3. By default, all document types and data are selected. To exclude a document type from the group, clear its

check box. To exclude particular data from the group, click the document type containing the data, then clear
the check boxes for the data you want to exclude.

4. Click OK.

Editing Data Groups

To add document types and data to a group or remove them from a group, complete these steps:

1. From the Tools menu, choose Manage Data Groups. The Data Groups dialog box is displayed.

2. Select the group you want to edit and click Edit. The Data Group Properties dialog box is displayed.

3. Select or clear the appropriate check boxes and click OK.
