Groups provide a special way to filter or lump transactions together
to be used in the reports. For an entry to be used it must match all
of the defined groups criteria. This consists of being within: the
Amount range, the date range, the transaction number range, in the
account set (if any accounts were chosen), in the budget set (if any
chosen), and in the attribute set (if any were specified or chosen).
When a entry matches all of these items then they are said to be in
that group and will be included in the report or listing.
EXAMPLE: If you wanted all the "tax deductible" items that where above
$100.00 and were with the "checking account" what would you
do? You might be able to do it by sorting the transactions
and hope they will all be together after the sort so that you
can pick those transactions. Chances are that they will not
be together thus leaving you with the alternative of running
the report using all the transactions. Now lets get a more
complicated example of where you wanted the transactions
mentioned above but did not want any of those transactions
that had a "church contributions" budget category. Groups
will allow you to do this and much more. By giving the
ranges and choosing the items you wish to have/not have in
your defined group you can build your own custom filters and
lump various transactions together.
