Originator Groups
An originator group is a named set of originators. A message filter in a feature, view tab, or report can select a group (Group: <name>) instead of listing originators one by one. When you add an originator to a group, every filter that uses the group includes it.
An originator can belong to more than one group.
To open the Originator Groups window, in the Storage section of the main toolbar, click 
Groups.
| Filters refer to a group by its name. If you rename or delete a group, filters that use the old name match no originators until you select a group again. |
