Groups contain a selection of fixtures. A group can include one or many fixtures. 

The fixtures' selection order and grid position are also stored in a group. For more information, see [Selection Grid](/grandma3/2-4/operate_selection/).

Using groups is a fast way to select the fixtures.

Groups can also be used as masters. There are four different types of group masters. Read more in the [Group Master topic](/grandma3/2-4/group_master/).

Groups are organized in a **Groups Pool** - read more about pools in the [Pool Windows topic](/grandma3/2-4/wvm_pool/).

Cues and presets do not store a reference to or information about the groups; only the values applied to the fixtures are stored in them. Recipes can store a reference to groups.

The following topics explore the creation, editing, and deletion of groups, as well as information about group masters.
