Smart and Alpha Groups are located on the People Filter and used to find information about people quickly based on an alphabetical or numeric group range. The options available are dynamically set and dependent on the information contained within the People pane columns, such as Name, Rank, Specialty and so on.
Smart Groups display records by common alphabetical group sensitive text. Once an option has been selected, the application automatically filters all records that meet the selected grouping. Selecting additional options within or across columns will further filter your output.
Alpha Groups: display records in general alphabetical or numerical order. In Alpha Groups the application displays the number of records contained within the first letter or number of each data element contained within the selected column. Once an option has been selected, the system filters all records that meet the selected grouping.
Selecting additional options within and across columns will further define your search criteria. Once set, filter items remain active throughout the application until the Smart Group is cleared or upon system log out.
