Edit/Create Groups
To edit or create groups, users can follow these six steps once they are in the Edit Groups interface:
- Select a value in the "Edit Group" picklist to edit an existing group or click the "Add New" button to create a new group.

- Edit or add the name in the "Group Name" textbox if needed.
- Click the "Save Changes" button after ensuring that there is at least one column and a name present.
