Map Groups

Automation > Process Automation > Map Groups

If the Map Groups (GroupTemplate.xml) file is present in the project folder, group name, type and color information automatically gets loaded in Map Groups dialog. User can do the necessary modifications and save the file.

For each row that defines a group, user can link to a image that gives additional information on the group. Double click the link, and the linked document will open in Map Groups - Image Viewer dialog.

Save the group mapping file by selecting Save. The file (GroupTemplate.xml) will be saved in the project folder.
