Outcome groups are used with Ladder Outcomes and enable you to specify logical groups of outcomes. When entering the outcomes they will be displayed in a column (grouped by group). If you are an organisation licensed to use Triangle's Outcome Stars you will see your stars here, as well as import new stars. It is sometimes easier to create outcomes as an Extension Database. They can offer greater flexibility and also report in an easier manner.
