What defines a Combination group in Cornerstone OnDemand?

A Combination group in Cornerstone OnDemand is defined as a group that combines static users with dynamic criteria. This means that it includes both a fixed set of users, who have been manually added to the group and will stay the same until manually changed, as well as users who meet specific criteria that may change over time.

This flexibility allows organizations to tailor groups based on both stable and changing needs. For instance, a organization might have a set core group of users that consistently require training, while also wanting to include additional users who qualify based on specific attributes like job roles or performance metrics. This combination ensures that the group reflects both a stable membership and the ability to adapt dynamically based on defined parameters, enhancing the management of users in various processes, such as learning and performance management.

The other options do not correctly capture the nature of a Combination group. A group that contains only static users lacks the dynamic aspect essential to a Combination group, while a group that is exclusively dynamic would not include any static members at all. Additionally, a temporary group for testing purposes does not reflect the intended functionality of grouping users based on strategic criteria that a Combination group aims to achieve.
