The second section New Group Start requires you to select how the system should number the Group(s) you are adding:
If no Groups exist yet, or if existing Groups are numbered consecutively, this option is inactive.
If existing Groups are not numbered consecutively, such as if a group was deleted, you are required to make a selection:
Fill in missing groups - Directs the system to reuse numbers for groups that were previously deleted. This option is only available when adding groups to pre-existing PM records that have gaps in the group numbers.
Start from last group - Directs the system to add new groups with a number 1 greater than the last group in the PM. This option is enabled by default.
The Existing Groups and Start New Group fields are inactive as they do not apply to Grouped PMs.
Select the Category that will be assigned to the Group. This will control which type of assets can be added to the Group in step 8, as well as other selections on the PM record.
