While configuring a process definition in process automation I realized there was a feature that allow the configuration of groups. As this is coming from a service definition, what's the purpose of this feature? Is it only for readability, or does it have a functional purpose?

Hi Sebastian,

Node groups in a service definition don't have a functional purpose and is an UI feature..
It is indeed to increase readability. Moreover, you can name and put certain workflows or tasks in a different colour, so it is easier to the user to see what is involved during the process by clicking on a group (bottom left). This feature is introduced with RN 16556 (DataMiner 9.5.6.0).

FYI: to manage such groups, just press right-click in the diagram of a service definition and press "configure groups..."

Hope this helps you further.
