8. Groups: Defined

Groups organize your regions by physical location or by function, and serve to simplify and expedite the search mechanism in the database.

A Tracking Region must be a member of at least one group. All regions in a tracking group must be configured for the same PRT process service ID.

Groups can hold multiple regions that can be organized by:

Example 1

Function.

Example 2

Physical location.
