Getting Started with Datastore Grouping

Datastore Grouping allows you to organize your datastores into custom groups within the tree view. Instead of browsing a flat list, you can create meaningful categories — such as by environment, team, domain, or priority — making it easier to locate and manage your data sources.

Each datastore can belong to one group at a time. Ungrouped datastores appear in the default "Ungrouped" section of the tree view. The Manager role is required to create, edit, and delete groups; adding or removing datastores from groups requires the Member user role and Editor team permission — see the Permissions page for details.

You can also filter datastores by group on the Source Datastores listing page, making it easy to narrow down results when working with many datastores.

In this section you will learn how grouping works, which roles can manage groups, and how to create, assign, and organize your datastores into groups.

Groups vs. Tags

Groups and tags serve different purposes. A group organizes datastores visually in the tree view — each datastore can belong to only one group. A tag is a flexible label for categorization, filtering operations, and quality score weighting — a datastore can have multiple tags. Use groups for navigation structure and tags for classification.
