# Group (Pro)

The Group field type (e.g. [ACF Group field](https://wplake.org/blog/acf-group-field/)) provides a way to structure fields into groups. It assists in better organizing the edit screen UI as well as the data. Advanced Views Pro supports nested groups without limitations.

{% hint style="info" %}
ACF and MetaBox Groups utilize similar principles and provide a comparable user experience. Therefore, the information provided below applies to both metadata vendors.

Note: It's important to keep in mind that MetaBox groups have the 'clonable' setting, which allows the field to be turned into a [repeater](https://docs.advanced-views.com/display-content/meta-fields/layout-fields/repeater-pro).

## How to use it

Select the **Group** field from the *Field* list. You can add a label as a prefix.

**Switch** to the *Sub Fields* tab, and assign the Group *sub fields*.

Click **Update** or **Publish** to save and publish your *Layout*.

**Copy** the shortcode, and **paste it** on a post or page.

**Fill** the fields, and click **update** or **publish** to save your post or page.

**Visit** your post or page to see the results.

{% hint style="info" %}
The Group field type can be used in a similar way as the [Repeater](/advanced-views/display-content/meta-fields/layout-fields/repeater-pro.md) field.
