Adding groups

Define a group of elements that can be used in complex type definitions.

About this task

A group can be either of the following compositions:
Sequence
All objects in the group can appear in the data.
Choice
Only one of the objects in the group can ever appear in the data.
Both compositions of group can be either global or local.
  • A global group has a name. Using a group reference, it can be reused across messages, elements, types, and other groups.
  • A local group has no name. In the editor, it is shown as either sequence or choice. It is available only where it is declared and cannot be reused.
