Working with Groups and Departments / Adding or Editing a Group |
The Conference page of the Add/Edit Group dialog box lets you maintain the list of users who are in the conference with the same name as the group.
You cannot actually add a group to a conference, but you can add all its members to the conference. Specifically, if you select a group when you populate a conference, you add only those users who are group members at that time to the conference—the conference does not reflect the dynamic membership of the group.
For example, if Lola Pergasz and Graden Close are members of the Clerks group at the time you add it to the Sales conference, they are both placed in the Sales conference. However, if Graden later leaves the Clerks group, he is not automatically removed from the Sales conference. Similarly, if Mariah Delaney later joins the Clerks group, she is not automatically added to the Sales conference.
