Group Definitions 

Static Group: groups that include specific members that were placed there manually. These can be inclusion or exclusion groups.

Static Opt-In Groups: special static group that allows members to opt-in to the group. Members can opt-in/opt-out by accessing their Profile page in the Member Directory.

Dynamic Groups: groups that automatically include members based on rules you define from the Directory or accounting system. 

Note: in order for any of these groups to work properly, all information in the Member Directory must be up-to-date. 

To access Dynamic Groups follow the steps below depending on your access role.

Admins: Hover over Admin bar in the left-hand corner of the screen, select Dynamic Groups. Note: these are linked in the same interface, so you can toggle between the two once you either click Dynamic Groups or Groups.

Editors: Hover over Admin in the main navigation, select Main Tools, and then Inbox/Groups.

Use Case(s)
