Create Person Groups

Explanation

This activity is used to create a person group. A person group consists of one or more persons and is used when defining the approval routing. In addition to this, in the case of document management, a person group can be used when defining document access.

Persons can be assigned to a group by manual entry or they can be copied from one group to another. Once you have selected a group to copy from, all persons will be copied into the destination group. If a person already exists in the destination group, that person will be not be copied.
