To use the query results to create a group
-
Choose the Use Query link on the query Results screen.
-
In the dialog box that opens, click the radio button for Create a Group and then click Go.
- On the New Group Information screen, observe and/or make changes to the following:
Group Name - by default the group name is the query name
Description - by default the description is also the same as the query description
Security Mode - determines the access that members of the group will have to the site
Group Type - choose from the drop-down menu or click the second radio button and enter a new type; this represents the group folder where the results will be stored
Scheduling Information - if you would like to have this group periodically rebuilt using the query, then check “Periodically rebuild group membership” and click the radio button for the desired schedule.
Note: Manual changes to a rebuilding group (or changes made by Data Sync) will be eliminated the next time the group is built by the query if those contacts do not meet the query criteria.
-
Click Save. The Group Information screen should now reflect the new Group ID and the number of users in this group.
Note: The new group will be identified as a query generated group on your Group List. See "Group Management" for more on working with groups.
