Manage Dataverse Groups

You can organize dataverses into groups, to structure the Network homepage and help users to find a dataverse more easily. Create groups of dataverses that have common entities, such as subjects, authors, or dates. This is similar to creating collections within a dataverse. On the Network homepage, a dataverse group name is displayed in a rectangular gray box, and the dataverses in the group are arranged alphabetically under the name.

When you create the first new dataverse group in the Network, then all dataverses become members of a default dataverse group called Other.
