Groups can be found on the Influence part of the platform, and the feature is available to all subscribers, with different access and limitations depending on your plan, as outlined below.
When you create a group, you can choose to make it either static or dynamic.
Static groups
Static groups comprise stakeholders you or your colleagues have added manually. To create a static group, navigate to Influence > My groups, and click 'Create new group'.
You can give the group a name and description, both of which are for your own informational purposes, and do not impact the nature of the group or its contacts.
Once the group has been created, you will be able to select stakeholders on the Directory tab to add to the static group. You can also add individual stakeholders to static groups from their stakeholder page on PolicyMogul.
Dynamic groups
Dynamic groups are updated based on filters that you create; when stakeholders meet those criteria, they will be added into those groups automatically. To create a dynamic group, navigate to Influence > My groups, and click 'Create new group'.
You can give the group a name and description, both of which are for your own informational purposes, and do not impact the nature of the group or its contacts.
Filters for dynamic groups include:

Based on which policymakers are vocal on a specific issue
Role
e.g. MP, peer, etc.
Position
e.g. Cabinet, Shadow Cabinet
Party
