Stafftool has two different ways of "pooling" people: Groups and Smart Groups. The following chart shows you some of the differences between the two:

GROUPS

• you manually add people
  
• can be public or private private
  
• users & admins can send messages
  
• limited per account agreement
  
• can have "child" groups
  
• are visible in a person's profile
  
• can have leaders assigned to them
  
• can be linked to events
• allows users to reply to messages (reply to all)

 SMART GROUPS

• stafftool will dynamically change the number of people based upon tags/filters
  
• can only be viewed by stafftool admins
  
• only admins can send messages
  
• unlimited: make as many as you want
  
• cannot have "child" groups
  
• do not show up in a profile
  
• no designations for leaders
  
• cannot be linked to events
• no option to reply to group messages

Now that you have a basic understanding of the ways that stafftools allows you to "pool" your people together why not dive in and get your organization better organized?
