Admin Field Group

Overview

Admin Field Groups allow administrators to group independent fields together in one location on the content entry form. This allows administrators to cluster fields together in the interface if they have something in common, while keeping them separate on the back-end. Admin Field Groups do not impact the front-end of the store at all.

A Field Collection may be a better fit for your project. Consider using a Field Collection instead of an Admin Field Group if your data points do not need to be stored separately on the back-end.
