A dynamic collection is a collection that does not have a fixed scope but evaluates its contents based on defined selection criteria.
Note:
This requires an understanding of writing PML expressions.
A dynamic collection can be created from a shared collection.
Right click on a shared collection element and select Edit Scope Selection to display the Expression Editor window.

The Expression Editor window uses a PML expression to select elements.
