What are groups?

Group related rows in a field
Example:
- Field: Country
- Rows: Afghanistan, Albania, Algeria, Andorra, Angola, Antigua and Barbuda, Argentina...
- Group into continents: Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, South America, Antarctica, Australia
Create custom groups not available in the source data

When to use groups?

Create consistency in the data
- Combine "USA", "US", "United States", "United States of America" into one group
Provide a new level of aggregation
- Group different products into categories like accessory, furniture, clothing, etc
