Groups

About Groups

A Group is a collection of related variables and parameters. Groups appear on the Mini Inspector and provide a way for you to organize the variables and parameters within the Mini Inspector so that you can quickly locate the variables and parameters that you are most interested in.

Concepts

• The order in which the Groups appear on the Mini Inspector is the same as the order in which the Groups appear on the Model Editor

• Only Model Writers can create and configure Groups

• Model Writers can add both variables and parameters to a Group

• If a model does not contain Groups, you will see a flat list of the favorite variables and parameters on the Mini Inspector

• If a model contains Groups, on the Mini Inspector, you will see a collapsible and expandable section for each Group and the variables and parameters appear under their associated Groups

• Many models in the standard Model Libraries include a default set of Groups

• The Properties Inspector sorts variables and parameters by Groups only if you sort the view based on the Group value
