# My Dynamic Group Now Shows 0 Assets
## If your Dynamic Asset or Security Group is suddenly displaying 0 assets, this usually indicates that the conditions defined in the membership rule no longer match any assets in your environment. This article explains how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue.
#### **Understanding Dynamic Groups**
Dynamic Groups allow you to automatically include or exclude assets based on specific **rules and conditions**—such as asset category, branch, custom fields, or states. Assets enter or exit the group in real-time based on whether they meet these conditions.
You can configure dynamic rules using the **Asset Members** tab when the group’s **Membership Type** is set to **Dynamic**.
---
#### **Common Causes for Assets Disappearing**
Here are the most common reasons your dynamic group may show 0 assets:
### 1. Conditions No Longer Match Any Assets
- One or more values used in the condition builder may have been renamed or deleted.
- Asset records may have been updated (e.g. changed category, type, or branch).
- Typing errors or overly strict filters can also result in no assets matching.
### 2. Incorrect Logic or Operators
- Using **"Equal to"** where **"Contains"** or **"Starts with"** would be more appropriate.
- Selecting a **string-type condition** and entering numeric or mismatched values.
### 3. Asset Data Not Populated
- Some fields used in your condition (e.g., `Category`, `Branch`) may not be populated for all assets.
- If the asset has no value for the condition field, it won’t be included.

#### **Screen Overview: Asset Members Tab (Dynamic Mode)**
When in **Dynamic Membership Mode**, the screen includes the following controls and features:
| Section | Description |
| --- | --- |
| **Membership Type Toggle** | Select between **Manual** and **Dynamic** modes. Switching to **Manual** will remove assets previously matched dynamically. |
| **Condition Builder** | Interface where you define rules such as “Category is equal to VEHICLES”. You can stack multiple filters using logic operators. |
| **"Show Assets" Button** | Preview which assets match the current filter conditions. |
| **"Variable Inspector"** | Displays available attributes and data types you can use to build rules. |
| **Search Bar** | Allows searching within the matched assets (if any). |
| **Export Button** | Exports a list of matched assets to CSV. |
| **Settings Cogwheel** | Used to manage table view options (columns, pagination, etc.). |
| **Asset Table** | Shows the assets currently matching the conditions. If the table is empty, your filters may be too restrictive. |
---
#### **What Happens When Switching Membership Type**
If you switch **from Dynamic to Manual**, all dynamically matched assets will be removed. You will need to manually re-add assets to the group if needed. **There is no rollback**—the system will not remember which assets were previously included.
If switching **from Manual to Dynamic**, the existing manually added assets will also be cleared, and only assets matching the rule will be shown.
---
#### **Troubleshooting Steps**
Follow these steps if your dynamic group shows no assets:
1. **Review the Condition Builder**
- Check the **field name**, **operator**, and **value**.
- Ensure the logic makes sense and is not too restrictive.
2. **Use the "Show Assets" Button**
- Press this to test your condition. If the preview returns no results, it confirms that nothing matches your filter.
3. **Use the "Variable Inspector"**
- Confirm that the field names and data types you are using are available and correctly formatted.
4. **Test a Simpler Rule**
- Temporarily simplify the condition to a single broad rule (e.g., `Category is equal to VEHICLES`) and check if assets appear.
5. **Inspect Asset Records**
- Go to the **Assets tab** and inspect a few assets manually to confirm what values they have for the fields used in the filter.
6. **Check for Data Clean-Up**
- Confirm with your administrator if any categories, types, or fields were modified recently.
---
#### **Best Practices**
- Keep rules simple and test progressively.
- Avoid using fields that are inconsistently populated across your fleet.
- Document the rules used in the Condition Builder for future reference.
- Regularly review Dynamic Groups after major asset imports or integrations.
---
#### **Still Not Working?**
If you've reviewed the above and still cannot get any assets to appear:
- Try recreating the Dynamic Group from scratch with a simple filter.
- Contact your fleet administrator to review asset metadata.
- Reach out to our Support Team at [servicedesk@perspio.io](mailto:servicedesk@perspio.io) with screenshots of your rule configuration and a few example assets for review.
