Create Query Based Collections

Query Based Collections (SetGroups) are logical groupings of Sets bundled together with a friendly name for resource management, such as "Helpdesk Technicians" or "High Security SharePoint Documents." Membership within a Query-Based Collection is dynamic. Each compilation of the Set Compiler Job adds and removes objects from each Query-Based Collection, based on the query results of the Sets.
