Description

Automatically creates, renames, and assigns records to Data Access Groups (DAGs) based on the value of a specified field. The value of that field becomes the name of the DAG. If the DAG already exists, then the record will be assigned to the existing DAG. An extra page is also provided for assigning the DAG for all records at once.
