How do Groups work in EndNote? |
Answer:
Groups make it easy to break a large library into subsets for later viewing. A group simply points to a subset of references that already exist in the library.
Important Points about Groups
- In EndNote X1/X2, you can create a maximum of 500 custom groups in a single library.
You can add a reference to a particular group only once (based on the unique record number). A single reference will never appear more than once in a particular group. However, you can add that reference to any number of groups.
- Deleting a reference from a custom group does not delete it from the library. It removes the reference from the group subset, but the reference still exists in the library.
- Deleting a reference from a library also deletes it from all groups in that library. The reference no longer exists. You cannot delete a reference from the library while displaying a custom group. Highlight the reference, go to the All References view, and then delete the reference.
- When you are viewing a group of references with selected (highlighted) references, and then switch to viewing All References, the same set of references are selected in the All References view until you deselect them.
- You can drag references from one library directly into a group in another open library. The references are copied to the second library and into the target group.
- EndNote X2 introduced the concept of Smart groups. These are built with search strategies. Smart groups are dynamically updated as you add references to and edit references in the library.
