Usually when storing new groups you need to do several steps: store the group which creates it in the show library, move it to the location where you want it, and set its legend. Using quickcreate you can do all in one go: create the group with the legend you want in the location you want. Also pay attention to the function Handles.CreateHandleReference which creates a reference to a not-yet existing handle.
