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 — see the How to Set Up Dynamic Team Rules article for the full rule builder.
6. 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 AND logic — a person must match every criterion to be included.
• 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 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.
