Overview
Predefined groups are used by both filters and to categorize files during transfer. You can configure predefined groups through the REST API (v1/filters/categories). To use a predefined group in a filter, see Job Filters | Filter By Predefined Groups.
You cannot create a cyclical predefined group. For example, you cannot create a group whose filter uses itself as a predefined group.
