### Types of groups

JabRef has six types of groups:
JabRef has five types of groups:

* **Explicit selection**. The group contains entries that were assigned manually. It behaves like a directory on disk, and contains only those entries that you explicitly assigned to it.
* **Searching for a keyword**. The group contain entries in which a certain field (e.g. `author`) contains a certain keyword (e.g. `Smith`). This method does not require manual assignment of entries but uses information that is already present in the database.
* **Free search expression**. Similar to **Searching for a keyword**, but for several keywords in several fields.
* **Specified keywords**. This feature will gather all words found in a specific field of your choice, and create a group for each word.
* **Authors' last names**. Groups can be generated for each author's last name.
* **Cited entries**. The group contains the entries cited in a LaTeX document, based on its _.aux_ file.
* **Current Selection**. The group created acts as an explicit collection, but automatically includes all entries that are currently selected in the entry panel.

## Group color bars in the entry table

To see easily to which groups an entry belongs to, the entry table has a column dedicated to groups. For each entry, a set of color bars is displayed. The number of bars and their colors depend on the groups to which the entry belongs to.
