AM67A: AM67A EVB grounds question

Part Number: AM67A
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AM67

Tool/software:

I noticed that there are several different grounds on the AM67A EVB that I am not trusting are actually different considering where they are located in the schematic.  In addition, I imported the design into Altium and they both show as the same ground with some having the net name turned on and some not.

The schematic I am referencing is PROC170E3(002)_SCH and examples of the two grounds can be found on page 21 in the EFUSE, VMON, JTAG & RSVD section.

As you can see, they use the same symbol, but one shows "DGND".  In the Altium import these are both listed as DGND, but just the lower one has the Name shown.

I do not believe that these are separate GNDs since for the simple reason that the PMIC page is all referenced to the one WITH the DGND shown, but all of the power feeds to the AM67 are referenced to the one WITHOUT the DGND shown.

Can you please clear this up for me?
