I think of this issue as bibliographic quality control. I have many different smart groups dedicated to data quality issues, i.e., just different aspects that over the years I have noticed tend to be problems about the data in fields: missing data, incorrect data, bad characters, etc. So you could set up a smart group for each of the fields that you notice tend to be missing, or combine some of the fields into one smart group, etc. Like Christiaan said, the problem is that smart groups are updated frequently, so I have to keep my smart groups hidden all the time except when I am checking data quality. You could also deal with this issue by creating the smart groups, then saving and closing the database, then manually cutting and pasting the smart groups into a separate file with a text editor, and only reinsert the smart groups when you need to use them.
