Smart Groups - when re-evaluated?
May 12, 2010, 03:22:19 pm
I looked around the documentation but couldn't find this...

Does anyone know when/how often Smart Group conditions are re-evaluated to determine what records meet the criteria and fit in the group?

Is it just one time, upon group creation? Or is it time based? Event based (ie everytime a CiviMailing is scheduled to send to that group)?

Thanks!!

the entire cache is reset whenever a contact is "edited or created". There is a cache timeout mechanism to ensure that the cache is not reset too often. The cache is recomputed on a as needed basis (i.e. when a request is made)

so basically it is "event based".
