Group Management

Group

Groups in AdviceOS need to be created before the user can perform any bulk related activities such as bulk actions, bulk emails, bulk FDS, bulk document actions, etc.

This section is for you to view any static and dynamic group that was created.

There are two options for groups:

  Static – This group will have the same amount of member

  • An example of a Static group is a group of 100 clients you have selected. In a months time, the group still includes all 100 clients that were originally selected (unless they have been made inactive)

 Dynamic – This group will update the member list based on the perimeter that was being setup

  • An example of a Dynamic group is a group of 100 clients who meet the specific filters that have been created (for example, they are High Growth clients with an active Review date).
  • After a month's time, 10 people have opted out of ongoing review and 5 other clients have reduced their risk profile from High Growth down to Growth. This group would now display a total list of 85 clients.
  • After a second month, 20 new clients have signed up to the ongoing review service. However, only 10 of these have a High Growth risk profile. The group would now display a total list of 95 clients (as only 10 of the clients meet the two required filters).

 

Creation of group (Dynamic/Static) must be done through "manage groups" section, see below for further instructions

Group Details Management - Static

 

Static Groups

If you click on the , this will allow you to manage the group that you created (mainly for static group).

Edit

This will provide you with an option to edit the name, and description, and make the group public (if applicable).
 

If you are not making the group as "public", no one else will have access to that particular group

 

Remove

This option will allow you to remove the group (dynamic/static)
 

Select Group

This option will allow you to start adding clients to the group - for static group
 
Click on add clients then it will provide you with a client search box.
 
You can do filtering in the search box to meet your requirement for your group.
For example, you just need to click on the  icon next to the heading of the table to specify your requirement.
 
 
Click on Filter then you can either select one by one or select all.
Once you set up the filter for the group, the client list will be listed below. There is also a function to export in CSV (excel) format for the client list.
 
 
Please note that if you add any clients manually for the existing dynamic group, it will change the group type to static and there will be a prompt to ask if you want to keep the original dynamic group.
 

Manage Groups

You can create "Dynamic" and "Static" group from this section by :
  • Choosing the report level (licensee/practice/adviser) and report filter, then click "update".
  • Once done you can start customising the filter and columns for your group, see below steps.
Click on the   icon and you can customize the columns for your filter.

 

Once you choose the columns, you can then click on the inverted triangle  next to the title of each column, this will allow you to do more filtering to meet your specification.
 
In this example, I am creating a group (dynamic/static) for any member with the surname Brown.
 
 
Once I setup the column and the filter to suit my requirement, I will then click +Create a new group to create this (dynamic/static) group.

 

 
Enter the name and description for the group and choose :
1) If you want to have a public or private group
      Public - everyone in the practice can view this group; if you untick this, it will be private and only the user can view this group
 
2) If you want to create a dynamic group or static group
      Dynamic group - tick the dynamic group
      Static group - untick the dynamic group, you can manage the static group in group details 
 
3) Choose the option of “current clients have shown in groups table” as you would have done all the filtering before
 
 
For managing dynamic groups, please use Manage Groups Screen
 
For managing static groups, please use the Group Details Screen
