A meeting pattern group is a collection of one or more meeting patterns that may be used as a time scheduling preference during timetabling.  For example, a meeting pattern group may be created that contains only standard meeting patterns, only meeting patterns with MWF day patterns, only evening patterns, etc.  This group can then be easily added to a time preference rule that is applied to sections during timetabling.
