Creating a segment

How to create a segment

A user can create a segment to filter out accounts which have similar traits. Creating a segment is establishing a criteria using different segmentation techniques. Follow the steps below to create a segment:
  1. On the Segments page, click New Segment and enter a name for the segment.
  2. Choose the module where you want to create the segment. It can either be Accounts, Contacts, or Deals. 
  3. Choose the nature (Static/Dynamic (mention the time frame for refreshing the segment))
  4. Choose the type (Individual/child (choose the parent))
  5. Fix the segmentation criteria (RMF, Firmographic, Engagement, VoC, Recommendation, and other Account Fields)
  6. In other CRM fields, the user can pick any field (even custom field) from the accounts (similar modules) in CRM.
  7. The user can use multiple techniques and establish a pattern among the criteria using AND operators.
  8. In RFM segmentation techniques, the user can choose two segment accounts based on either a configured label or the independent values of R, F, M values.
  9. In Firmographic segmentation technique, the user can choose two segment accounts based on configured labels.

The user will also have an option to establish a newly created segment as a filtering option in the Smart Filter in Zoho CRM.  They can choose either whether or not to establish a segment in Smart Filter. This can be reversed at any time by editing the segment.
The details about the segment will be available in the ABM widget.

How to edit a segment

The user can edit a segment anytime to change segment name or update segmentation criteria and so on. Whenever the criteria is updated, the list of accounts in the segment is refreshed. This action will bring in a new set of accounts to the segment.

You can delete a segment by simply clicking the Delete button and confirming the action.
Removing a parent segment will also remove all the associated child segments.
