Group selection<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

So, this section allows selecting an existing group to change its options or create a new group.
[1] \u2013 Select an existing group with this list.
[2] \u2013 here you can create a new group. Please note, that when you install the plugin for the first time, you have no groups, and only the “Create a new group” input field will be available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Area selection<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At the same time, this section allows you to select the states that will belong to the new group. Select any number of the states you want and after that configure the group settings in the next section.
[3] “Enable zoom” \u2013 check this checkbox if you want to zoom the map while selecting the states into the group.
[4] \u2013 here we show the states selected for the group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Group settings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This section manages the selected group settings.

[10] “Image URL” \u2013 sets up the URL for the group icon image.
[11] “Override individual action settings” \u2013 when you configure the separate states (as it was described earlier), you may have chosen an action when the user clicks on the state. After checking this checkbox, all these actions will be overwritten by the selected action for the group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
