If the selected entries have different assigned groups, the dialog form indicates a green x to groups that are assiged to at least one record. Numbers for each group in fractured brackets indicate how many assigned groups have the selected number of records.
[x/y]
x – Number of records to which the group is assigned
y – Quantity of Posted Records
When one child group is selected, a grey check mark appears near the parent group, meaning that not all children’s groups are marked in the parent group.
When changes are saved, groups are assigned and represented to selected records
Group changes are saved to records only to the extent that they were last made. The child group is represented with the parent through the symbol “/”.
When selected entries have the same assigned groups, a green check mark is displayed to the groups.
When all tree groups are selected in the dialog form, the parent group tag is represented with a green check mark. When a parent group is selected, all his children’s groups are automatically tagged.
When you save changes, groups are assigned to selected records. If the list Groups field does not fit all assigned groups into the field frame, assigned groups can be viewed by starting the mouse on the group field to the record.

When you select multiple entries with different assigned groups on the left side, the dialog sheet selects groups that will be removed from the selected records.
Green x indicates to groups that not all records have an assigned group. The green check mark next to the child group indicates that the group is assigned to all selected entries. A gray check mark near the parent group indicates that not all children’s groups and not all records have an assigned group tree.
Group removal is done by selecting selected groups. If one of the children’s groups is assigned to the record, the group removal is done by selecting the child group.
