A group of masks is a set of masks which could be related to the same subject, but which are presented in Metis Smart Quote under tabs which can be defined in Metis Smart Quote. The whole principle of group of masks is to setup this layout. Metis Smart Modelling allows to define the name and the content of the group, basically a group is an entity which then links to different masks, which will then make up the group. Each masks linked to the group is then named in order to setup the tabs. And define the definitive layout in Metis Smart Quote. | A group of masks is a set of masks which could be related to the same subject, but which are presented in Metis Smart Quote under tabs which can be defined in Metis Smart Quote.
