Merging item groups

Merging groups lets you move all of the items in two or more groups into a single group. When you merge groups, the original groups are deleted and a single, new group is created that contains all of the items from the groups.

To merge groups

In the Group Search window, select the groups you want to merge (for more information, see Finding a group).

Click Merge Groups.

The Merge groups dialog box opens.

Do one of the following to name the group:

•

Type a Group ID for the group (up to 20 characters).

•

Select Auto from the drop-down menu. Auto creates a group ID by combining the string “ITEMGROUP-” with an incremental number.

•

Select the Group ID of one of the groups you selected to merge from the drop-down menu. The items in the merged group will replace the items in the selected group.

Type a description of the purpose of the group in the Description field.

Select a library from the Library drop-down list.

Click Merge Groups.

The Manage Group window opens displaying the new, merged group and a list of the merged items. The groups that merged into the new group are deleted.
