Each address can be an part of zero, one or more address groups.
Summary
Why do I use address groups?
Address groups are used to group some addresses. This will make it easier to retrieve different addresses. In addition, addresses of a group can be located easily in the map, because each group corresponds to a map pin icon with an specific color.
General basics
An address group is defined by its name and a color. The color can be selected from a predefined color range.
In addition, the address groups order inside the groups list is important. A group at a position above an other are more important then groups below it. If an address is assigned to more than one address group the address icon is shown at map, with the color of the group with highest importance.
Addresses of an group are shown at map with the pin color, defined by group.
Liste elements
Each address group record is represented by an group list row. It uses the following columns.
| 1. |  | Check box | Here you can preselect one or more groups for an action. This column is only visible if the user have the right for editing in address management. |
| 2. | Group symbol | Shows the map pin symbol, used to show addresses of this group inside the map. | |
| 3. | address group | The address group name. | |
| 4. | assigned addresses | The names of all addresses assigned to the group. If more than 4 addresses are assigned to the group, only the first 4 addresses are shown initially. All other addresses can be shown if you clik somewhere in side the column. If more addresses are avialable, you can see if the column defines at its right side the  symbol. | |
| 5. | actions | Defines all action in relation of the group from this row. |
