Creating Document Groups in the Query Tool

At times, you first need to code the data to find relevant information like years of working experience, special skills, attitudes about something, relationship to other people, etc. For this you need an option to create document groups based on query results.

You can create groups based on queries - thus based on information that you have coded. See Creating Document Groups From Results.

Renaming a Group

Select a group in the Group Manager and click on the Rename option in the ribbon.

Right-click on a group and select the Rename option from the context menu.

Select a group and press F2. This opens the 'Rename dialogue'.
