## Overview
A Dynamic Team is a team whose membership is driven by rules rather than a manual list. Instead of adding people one by one, you define criteria — such as "has completed a pathway" or "is part of a team" — and SuperPath automatically includes everyone who matches. This contrasts with a static Team, where people are added manually or through workflows. Dynamic Teams are ideal when your audience should update itself as learners progress.

## How to create a Dynamic Team
1. Go to **Settings → Teams**.
2. Click **Create Team** (or **Add your first team** if you have no teams yet).
3. In the **Create Team** window, select the **Dynamic** tab (the **Static** tab is selected by default).
4. Enter a **Name** for the team.
5. Under **Criteria**, click **Add criteria**, choose a criteria option, set it up, and click **Save**. Repeat to add as many rules as you need. The **How to Set Up Dynamic Team Rules** article covers the full rule builder, including **Is any of** for listing several values in one condition.
6. If you added two or more rules, choose how they combine in the sentence above the list: **People who match [all] of these rules:**. Leave it on **all** to include only people who match every rule, or choose **any** to include everyone who matches at least one.
7. Click **Create**.

Your new Dynamic Team appears in the Teams list with a lightning bolt icon, and SuperPath begins populating it from your criteria straight away.

## Things to keep in mind
* A static Team holds people that are added manually or through workflows; a Dynamic Team is based on filters and changes automatically as people meet (or stop meeting) the criteria.
* **Create** stays disabled until the Dynamic Team has a name and at least one criterion.
* When you add more than one criterion, they combine with **all** (AND) unless you choose **any** (OR). With **all**, a person must match every criterion. With **any**, matching one is enough.
* Team names must be unique within your organisation — creating a team with a name that already exists is rejected.
* You can't manually add or remove people from a Dynamic Team; membership is always resolved from the rules.
* A team's type is set when you create it and can't be switched between static and dynamic afterwards.

## FAQs
**What's the difference between a static Team and a Dynamic Team?**
A static Team has a manually managed member list. A Dynamic Team has no manual list — its members are everyone who matches the rules you set, and it updates automatically.

**Can I add someone to a Dynamic Team by hand?**
No. Membership comes entirely from the criteria. To include or exclude someone, adjust the rules.

**Can one Dynamic Team cover several job titles?**
Yes. Add a **Has people fields that match specific criteria** rule and set **Position** to **Is any of**, then list each job title. One condition can hold up to 10 values.

**Can I change the criteria after creating the team?**
Yes. Open the team and edit it — see the **How to Edit a Dynamic Team** article. Changes take effect immediately.

**Can I turn a static Team into a Dynamic Team?**
No. The team type is fixed at creation. If you need the same group as a Dynamic Team, create a new Dynamic Team with equivalent criteria.

## Who can do this
**Owners** and **Admins** can create teams, including Dynamic Teams. **Managers**, **People Managers**, **Content Managers**, **Instructors**, **Employees** and **Restricted** users cannot create teams.
