Each group record can be assigned a specific "type." The group type can be especially helpful to categorize similar groups.
For example, a common use of group records is for committees. A group record is a convenient way to group members together in a way that can be easily used on search windows. So if groups have been renamed to "Committees", you might setup group types for "Fund-Raising", "Social Planning", etc. Then you can easily find all of the members on the committee by simply using that group name and type as search criteria.
Note: You cannot delete a record that is in use. One solution is to create an entry called, "Undefined" or "Unknown" and merge the unwanted entries into that one.
