Groups

The program is pre-populated with groups that are useful for classifying supplement ingredients and formulas, and when you assign your Ingredient or Formula to a Group, you can later narrow your searches by Group. Additional groups can be added to the program through this option. Groups can also be added as they are assigned to individual ingredients and formulas. Both methods will add the group name to the drop-down menu on the Ingredient and Formula screens. This option also allows user-entered groups to be edited or deleted as needed. The pre-populated groups are maintained by ESHA, and cannot be edited/deleted.

1. Go to Options > Groups

2. Select the Add link at the top or right-click and choose Add

3. Type in the name of the groups and press Enter on your keyboard. When you next open this dialog, your user-added groups will appear in this list in alphabetical order.

Add a Group from an Ingredient or Formula document

4. If the Group does not yet exist, finish typing the name for the Group you want to create and press Enter/Return on your keyboard.

5. The Ingredient or Formula will now be assigned to the Group you just created
