This window allows tables that have a logical connection to be grouped under a common name and manipulated as a group under certain conditions. Table groups have two main purposes: security and table maintenance.
In Dexterity applications, table security is set based upon table groups. Each time a table is accessed, Dexterity examines which table group the table is part of. Based upon how security is set for the table group, access to the table is either granted or denied.
In some implementations of table maintenance, the user selects a table group on which maintenance will be performed. The application then determines which tables are part of that table group and performs the maintenance on those tables.
From the menu bar: To create a new table group, point to New in the Explorer menu and choose Table Group. To view an existing table group, point to View in the Explorer menu and choose Table Groups. Select one in the list and click the Open button in the Resource Explorer.
From the Resource Explorer: Choose Table Groups in the Base group for the current dictionary. To create a new table group, click the New button in the Resource Explorer. To view an existing table group, select one in the list and click the Open button in the Resource Explorer.
