About This Feature
Overview
Dynamic Groups is a WPS feature for enterprise directory management on Windows. It helps administrators organize members with rules based on department, job title, or custom fields.
Core capabilities include:
- Create folders for dynamic groups so related groups can be organized under the same structure.
- Create dynamic groups that automatically include or remove members when their profile data matches or no longer matches the configured rules.
This feature is useful for enterprise organization management, notification targeting, and maintaining collaboration scopes by member attributes. It reduces manual list maintenance and keeps group membership aligned with current member information.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Supports enterprise directory management with folders and dynamic groups. Rules can be based on department, job title, or custom fields, and membership updates automatically when conditions change. | Word can group shapes, pictures, and other objects so they can be moved, resized, or rotated together. This is document object grouping rather than enterprise member grouping. | Google Docs building blocks help organize document content for project management, communication, and meetings. This is content structuring rather than organization member grouping. | Notion board view groups database pages by a property such as status, assignee, or priority, and also supports sub-groups. It is designed for database items and project records. | Acrobat supports sharing PDFs for review so multiple reviewers can comment through a shared workflow. It focuses on document review collaboration rather than member grouping. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: built for enterprise member management instead of document objects or content blocks. Distinct: member membership can update automatically when profile fields change. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft describes grouping for document objects in Word, not rule-based member groups tied to organization attributes. | Compared with WPS: Google describes reusable document blocks and meeting or project content, not automatic member grouping by directory fields. | Compared with WPS: Notion groups database pages and tasks by properties, not enterprise directory members. | Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses on PDF review links, comments, and feedback tracking rather than dynamic member groups. |
| Official Source | — | Group objects in Word | Insert building blocks in Google Docs | Board view | Share PDFs for review |
Overall Conclusion: WPS Dynamic Groups is more aligned with enterprise directory and organization management because it uses rules to maintain member membership automatically. The official pages for Microsoft, Google, Notion, and Adobe describe grouping or collaboration in document, content, database, or PDF review scenarios, so their focus is different.
Use Cases
| No. | Scenario | Suitable for | Main challenge | How it helps |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Build groups by department automatically | Enterprise administrators | Member lists need repeated manual updates after department changes | Create a dynamic group based on department fields so membership stays in sync automatically |
| 2 | Maintain notification scopes by job title | HR and administrative teams | Manager or owner lists change over time | Create rules by job title to keep notification targets current |
| 3 | Filter members by custom fields | IT and operations managers | Tagged member lists are difficult to maintain over time | Use custom field rules to include only matching members |
| 4 | Manage complex structures with multiple conditions | Organization managers | A single condition does not cover complex structures | Combine multiple rules with AND or OR logic for more specific groups |
| 5 | Review current matched members | Group administrators | It is hard to confirm whether rules are working as expected | Open the group details page to review the current matched member list |
