The Group option will bring up the Project Groups screen. Here you can create new project groups or edit existing groups. Projects can be grouped in any manner. Grouping is a powerful feature of Web Suite that enables you to quickly filter project records for review or to limit records included in reports. Groups can be a very effective device for managing your business and enhancing Web Suite. Items can be included in more than one project group. For example, you can group projects by category (for example, 1040 Tax Prep, Network Installation, Computer Drafting) for easier comparison of performance, write-up/down, etc. Project grouping possibilities are as unique as your business needs.
The following are descriptions for each Project Groups field:
Project Group:
ID of the project group. Select one from the drop-down list.
