Groups
A group bundles several conditions into one reusable unit you can name, collapse and re-apply with a single click. Groups are the difference between rebuilding the same five conditions every Monday and picking them from a list.
Creating a group
Section titled “Creating a group”Two ways:
- Drag one condition onto another. The two conditions merge into a group in the bar, and a name field opens right away so you can label it.
- Right-click a single condition and choose Convert to my group (or Convert to global group to share it — see Global groups). The condition becomes a one-item group you can then add to.
A group in the bar shows as its conditions wrapped together, with a small toolbar of its own.
Naming a group
Section titled “Naming a group”A group is only remembered if it has a name. To name one, right-click it and choose Name group, or use the name field that opens when you first create it. Type a name and press Enter.
Names must be unique — you cannot have two groups with the same name. If a group is left without a name, a reminder appears explaining that unnamed groups are not kept; choose Name group to keep it, or Continue without name to let it dissolve.
Named groups appear in the Groups section of the dropdown, ready to re-apply.
Collapsing
Section titled “Collapsing”A group can be collapsed to a single pill (showing how many conditions it holds) to save room in the bar, and expanded again to see and edit each condition. Use the expand/collapse control on the group. The collapsed state is remembered.
Applying a group
Section titled “Applying a group”Click a group in the Groups section of the dropdown to apply it. Each group carries its own apply mode, shown on its toolbar and toggled there or from its right-click menu:
- On apply: replaces current filters — applying the group clears whatever is in the bar and installs the group’s conditions.
- On apply: adds to current filters — the group’s conditions are added on top of what you already have.
Applying a group twice never creates duplicate conditions.
Removing versus deleting
Section titled “Removing versus deleting”These are different, and the difference matters:
- Remove group conditions from filtering — the group’s own × takes its conditions out of the current filtering but keeps the saved group in the Groups section. Use this to stop filtering by a group without losing it.
- Ungroup conditions — breaks the group apart, leaving its conditions loose in the bar and removing the saved definition.
- Delete group — the trash icon on the group’s row in the dropdown deletes the saved definition entirely.
Marking a group as a favourite
Section titled “Marking a group as a favourite”A group’s heart marks it as a favourite search (Mark group as favourite search), so it also appears in the Favourite searches section. Click again to remove it.
Global groups
Section titled “Global groups”Groups are personal by default. An administrator with configuration rights can publish a group for all users:
- Convert to global group — moves your group to the shared set. It then shows a small marker indicating Global group (all users) and appears in everyone’s Groups section.
- Convert to my group — moves a global group back to being personal.
- Remove global group — deletes a shared group for everyone.
Global groups behave exactly like personal ones for everyone who uses them — re-apply, replace-or-add, favourite. Only the publishing and removal actions require configuration rights. Names are unique across personal and global groups alike.
