All the objects and enumerations in ELMA Designer are in groups. The groups have the icon in ELMA Designer.
Groups can contain both objects and enumerations. All the groups must have unique names. The system does not allow creating several groups with the same name.
In ELMA Designer, groups have the following color scheme:
system groups have blue font (cannot be deleted);
user groups have black font (can be changed or deleted).
