Once you install Quick View for Jira, you should see it in the list of apps displayed at the left menu bar, available for every Jira project.
A Quick View Group is composed from a set of issues. Groups are used as containers for issues you want to manage and track together. You can set new groups, change groups names etc. When you start using Quick View for the first time for a board, you will see a single default group named Quick View Backlog. By default, group issues are displayed with their issue Key and issue Summary. When you click on the issue key, the Jira issue view screen is opened, and you can view and edit all the issue details as usual.
