Use

A group box is used to group related items on a process diagram. The group box consists of a frame and a group header. The group header text can be taken directly from an IGSS object, for example, a string object.

Example

In this example we show three related flow gauges within a group box. The group box header is taken directly from the string defined in the string object named FlowMeters. For all other object types, the object name itself will be written.
