Create from Specification Text

    ​
    ​

  3. Press Ctrl+Shift+R (Cmd-Shift-R for Macs)
    ​
    OR
    ​
    Select the Convert to R-Group option from the Terms menu
    ​
    ​


    ​
    OR
    ​
    Right-click the selected text and select Convert to R-Group from the context menu provided.

Create in the R-groups Manager

  1. Open the R-groups Manager.

    ​Note that your group name can nest other R-groups (e.g., "R2 and R3"). Existing R-groups nested this way will be individually tagged and will reflect name updates wherever used.
