How to create and configure a Smart Group to automatically add users
User groups help you organize and categorize all your employees within CultureAI. You can manually create groups or use Smart Groups to automatically add users based on rules you create.
This data is pulled in from your metadata in your Directory.
In this guide, we'll look at how to create a group that will automatically add new users.

Rules and Conditions
When you create a smart group, you can choose to have one rule with several conditions inside it, or separate rules.
One rule with conditions inside it
CultureAI will look at the conditions you set, and look for users with all the conditions in their directory. Setting one rule with different conditions inside it creates an AND statement.
For example, if you set up a group like below, it would only add users to group that meet all of these conditions in their directory set-up. Only users who are in both the Marketing and the Sales and Marketing departments in your directory will be pulled into the group.
Separate rules
Setting separate rules creates an IF statement. CultureAI will look for any conditions you have in your different rules and add users to the group if they meet any of those conditions.
If you create a group like the example below, users who meet any of the conditions will be added into the group.
