| What are Search Commands in Groups? |
|---|
| Search Commands in Groups are dropdown-based filters in the Workspace-level and Community-level Groups sections that let an Administrator narrow the group list to those meeting a chosen criterion. |
The Workspace-level and Community-level Groups pages each expose a set of search commands, selected from a dropdown, that filter the group list to groups meeting a specific criterion. The commands available differ between the two levels, and at both levels groups can also be located directly by entering part of a group name into the search box.
Role Permissions
- Workspace Administrator: Uses the Workspace-level search commands to filter groups at the Workspace level.
- Community Administrator: Uses the Community-level search commands to filter groups at the Community level.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
Workspace-level search commands
There are three dropdown-based search commands for groups at the Workspace level, in addition to a direct search option.
Assignment Method
The Assignment Method search command filters groups by the method used to assign members to the group. Five assignment methods are available:
- Manual: Members are assigned to the group manually by the Workspace Administrator.
- SSO: Members are added to the group automatically based on SSO mapping.
- Email Domain: Members are assigned to the group automatically based on the email domains configured to allow or block access to the group.
- Profile Questions: Members are assigned to the group based on the answer options of Profile Questions with a field type of Single choice, URL/hyperlink, Date, Currency, or Integer.
- All New Members: The assignment method applies because the group's All New Members checkbox is checked.
Community

The Community search command lists every community within the Workspace. Selecting one or more communities filters the group list to the groups associated with those communities.
Profile Questions
The Profile Questions search command lists every profile question configured within the Workspace. Selecting a profile question, along with one of its answer choices, filters the group list to the groups associated with that answer.
Direct search
Groups can also be located by entering part of a group name directly into the search box.
Community-level search commands

The Community-level Groups page offers several dropdown-based search commands, in addition to a direct search option.
Level

The Level search command filters groups by where they were created — at the Workspace level, the Community level, or the System level.
Assignment Method

As with the Workspace-level Assignment Method command, this command filters groups by the method used to assign members to the group. Results are limited to groups applicable to the community currently being viewed.
Hidden on Leaderboard
The Hidden on Leaderboard search command filters the group list to groups that are hidden from, or visible on, the leaderboard.
Campaigns
The Campaigns search command lists every available campaign. Selecting a campaign filters the group list to the groups associated with that campaign.
Stages
The Stages search command lists every stage. Selecting a stage filters the group list to the groups associated with that stage.
Idea Permissions
The Idea Permissions search command lists every idea permission configured for groups. Selecting a permission filters the group list to the groups associated with it.
Comment Permissions

The Comment Permissions search command lists every comment permission configured for groups. Selecting a permission filters the group list to the groups associated with it.
Profile Questions
The Profile Questions search command lists every profile question configured within the community. Selecting a profile question, along with one of its answer choices, filters the group list to the groups associated with that answer.
Direct search
Groups can also be located by entering part of a group name directly into the search box.
Frequently Asked Questions
