The Options > Groups window
Settings in the Groups folder determine restrictions on dispatch and member groups.
If the label for the Groups folder is bold in the folder list, there is an invalid entry in a field in the Member Groups section of the content pane. See the descriptions for the fields for more information.
The content pane of the Groups folder is divided into two sections, Member Groups and Dispatch Groups.
Member Groups
Settings in this section allow you to set restrictions on member groups.
Max # of trucks in a Non-Mobile Comm Group

If you enter a number in this field that is less than the number of trucks in any current Non-Mobile Comm Group, the label for the Groups folder in the folder list is bold.
Max # of Mobile Comm Groups a truck can be in
Specify the maximum number of Mobile Comm Groups to which one truck can belong. The default setting is 2.
