A link group allows you to categorize import links according to your requirements and easily find the appropriate link when needed. You create and manage link groups in the Link Explorer. The software comes shipped with the All link group, which you cannot edit or delete.
Every link must belong to a link group, so if you do not create a group, links that you create automatically appear in the All link group. Other link groups that you create are considered user-defined. You can create as many user-defined link groups as you require, edit or delete them when needed, move links from one group to another, duplicate links, or associate the same link with more than one group. Changing properties of such a link in one group results in changing the properties of all instances of this link in all the groups it is associated with. You can only delete a link group together with the links this group contains. Deleting a link group results in deletion of all the group links from the All group as well.
You can import data either from a specific link or from all links in the group in batch mode. For batch mode, the Import Utility runs the group links one after another with the link that appears right under the group name in the Link Explorer having the highest priority.
