Popup Page Groups
Standard Popup Pages can be organized into Popup Page Groups. Popup Page Groups provide a mechanism to group popup pages into mutually exclusive groups for display purposes.
NOTE: Groups apply only to Standard Popup Pages (not to Sub-Pages).
Popup Page Groups are represented in the Workspace Navigator (Pages tab) in Popup Page Group folders, nested within the Popup Pages folder (see Popup Group 1 and Popup Group 2 in FIG. 61):
