This will have an effect when adding new widgets to an dashboard. See :ref:`adding-widgets` to get an idea of the UI. Groups are defines as PHP array in :file:`Configuration/Backend/DashboardWidgetGroups.php`:: [ 'title' => 'LLL:EXT:dashboard/Resources/Private/Language/locallang.xlf:widget_group.general', ], 'systemInfo' => [ 'title' => 'LLL:EXT:dashboard/Resources/Private/Language/locallang.xlf:widget_group.system', ], 'typo3' => [ 'title' => 'LLL:EXT:dashboard/Resources/Private/Language/locallang.xlf:widget_group.typo3', ], 'news' => [ 'title' => 'LLL:EXT:dashboard/Resources/Private/Language/locallang.xlf:widget_group.news', ], 'documentation' => [ 'title' => 'LLL:EXT:dashboard/Resources/Private/Language/locallang.xlf:widget_group.documentation', ], ]; The file has to return an array of groups. Each group consists of an array key used as identifier and an single option :php:`title`. The title will be processed through translation and can be an ``LLL`` reference. Each extension can create arbitrary widget groups. Widgets can be assigned to multiple groups using the :option:`groupNames`. Please read :ref:`register-new-widget` to understand how this is done.
