You can create manual groups from the following starting points:

• a node page
• a search result page
• a Visualization

Creating manual groups from a node view or search result page

To create a new group from a node view or search result page:

1. Click the Groups icon to display the Groups menu.
   
   
2. From the Groups menu, select the Show group labels in lists option.
   Although this step is not necessary, it makes the operations clearer in the user interface.
3. Click away from the menu to close it.
4. If you are on a search result page, select the nodes to add to the new group. You can use the select tools to help with this: (Select: All | None | Invert).
5. Click the Actions button to display the Actions menu, and select the Manual Groups item.
6. Enter the name of the new group in the field on the Groups page, as illustrated in the following screen.
   Double quotes (") cannot be used in a Group name.
7. Click Create.
   The page is updated to show that the node or nodes have been added to the new group.

   Adding a subgroup to a group

   
   To add a subgroup to a group:

8. Select the nodes to add to the new subgroup. You can use the select tools to help with this: (Select: All | None | Invert).
9. Click the Actions button to display the Actions menu, and select the Manual Groups item.
10. If the required parent group already exists, click the entry in the displayed list to enter its name in the Group field (or enter the name of the group manually). Once the name is entered, the non-matching groups are removed from the displayed list and the Subgroup entry field is enabled. If the parent group does not already exist, create it by entering a name in the Group field.
11. Enter the name of the subgroup into the Subgroup entry field.
