Data Group

Data Groups are used as placeholders for shift records, which you create in the Shift Definition form. Grouping shifts is useful in situations like acquisitions where for example, companies may have several shifts with the same name. By placing shifts into different data groups, you can keep the original names. Note that you cannot have duplicate shift names within the same data group.
