Understanding Smart Group Criteria and Traits

Follow

Each Smart Group is created with certain criteria to define it. These criteria allow you to organize the information of the people in your church into different groups.

 Remember, Smart Groups are dynamic; they automatically add or remove members that meet or do not meet the criteria of the group.
