Bruce:
Afraid we aren't all that clever in what we name the group! We just use the
date with a dash (120704-1), it keeps like groups together that way and it's
easy to find and also to delete the old ones without having to open them up
to see when they were created.
We count every day, sometimes he'll do more than 1 group a day - that might
happen if the first group went quick and maybe there's a new project that we
want/need to keep tabs on, so he'll go ahead and run a second group.
I'm happy to be able to help....
