Event Groups
The event group management consists of a set of panels that allow administrators to view, edit, and delete event groups. Check out more details here!
An Event Group is a hierarchical structure used to group the event definitions. As hierarchical entities, the event groups can be nested, allowing the user to create complex event structures to fit every particular project.
