# Group lists

A group list collects several digital (DMR) contacts that should be received on a channel associated with this group list. Consequently, a group list consists of a name and a list of contact IDs. The groupLists element is then a list of several group list definitions.

As an example, consider the two group lists below:

## Group list definition

    groupLists:
      - {id: grp1, name: DL, contacts: [cont1, cont2, cont3]}
      - {id: grp2, name: Berlin/Brand, contacts: [cont6, cont5, cont7]}

The first group list has the internal ID grp1. This ID can then be used later to reference this group list. The name is set to DL. The list of contacts of the group list is then defined as a list containing the IDs of the referenced contacts.

## Group list fields
