8. Groups: Defined

Groups organize your regions by physical location or by function, and serve to simplify and expedite the search mechanism in the database.

A Tracking Region must be a member of at least one group. All regions in a tracking group must be configured for the same PRT process service ID.

Groups can hold multiple regions that can be organized by:

Example 1	Function.
Example 2	Physical location.

Example 1. Functional Group

1	Welder lines 1 and 2 are grouped together by function into a Welder group.
2	Robot regions 1 and 2 are grouped together by function into a Robot group.

Example 2. Physical Group

1	The regions in this physical area have been grouped into Group 1.
2	The regions in this physical area have been grouped into Group 2.
