What is an Entitygroup?

Entitygroup module helps you quickly and easily tag entities in Drupal. It provides the same functionality as taxonomy does for content types (nodes) and, as a matter of fact, was initially developed to fill that gap.
An entitygroup is a group of entities that can be managed together. The Entitygroup module provides the following functionality:

  • Quickly adding entities to groups
  • Bulk operations on entities in a particular group (not yet implemented)
  • View and manage entities in a contact group

Fields

An entitygroup field type is provided which is attached to any entity and configured to hold information on the group that the entity belongs to

How do I use this module?

Let's say you have an entity type called Contacts which holds information on the contacts each user has on the site. To group these contacts into mailing lists or groups, you would use the entitygroup module, attach the entitygroup field to the Contacts entity and then you can categorize your Contacts into different groups by simply tagging them.
