Start11 Tabs and Groups Question

Can a group of tabs be named?

from Stardock Forums

Hello,

I love Start11 it is a fantastic product!  I have a question about the naming and functionality of Tabs and Groups.

I like to keep things organized into categories and sub categories.  I am confused about the differences between Tabs and Groups and the functionality of how to name them.  To start out with I could use an explanation of the differences between groups and tabs.  Here's what I am looking to do that has me confused.

I want to have a Group of Tabs that has the group name of something like "Creativity" or "Graphics Software" and in that group I would like to have separate tabs with names like "Adobe Software" and "Non-Adobe Software" and if there are any brands of software that is also a suite or collection of software like Adobe has then I would like to have a tab by that company or brand.  My question is this, is there a way to name a group that will contain several separate tabs like I described?  If yes, how do I do that?

 

Thank you.

 

Sincerely,

WonderWoman77

Hello,
Unfortunately, no, there is no such option in Start11v2. Instead you can group apps/shortcut into a combine tile within a group. Something like screenshot below.

Basj is correct, but you could use colors to differentiate your groups.

Hello,

Thank you for both of your replies. I appreciate it. Can you tell me how I put things into groups? Does it behave or function the same way grouping things functions on an iPad where you just click and drag and drop one icon on top of another to start a group or is there something different for the program?

Its drag over another icon, see the (+) icon popup and release. Something like my short video below.

Thank you for that video....I had a feeling it might work like that which is the same way groups are created on Apple devices.
