Static groups

A Static group is a set of one or more records grouped together and retrievable at any time. The group holds the IRNClosed of each record in the group. It is possible to add records to and remove them from this type of group but the composition of a Static group does not change unless records are actively added or removed.

Note: This contrasts with a Dynamic group in which the composition is not known until the group is retrieved).

Records in the group must be from the same module.

In the Groups module, the records in a Static group are listed on the Static tab: details include the IRN of each record, alongside each record's Summary DataClosed. A count of the records in the group is also shown:
