How to: Create Segments by Reusing Segment Criteria

If you have saved the segmentation criteria that you have used to create a segment, you can reuse this to create a new segment. The newly created segment does not necessarily contain the same contacts as the other segment. It contains an updated list of contacts matching the same segmentation criteria.

If you want to create a segment containing the exact same contacts as another logged segment, use the Reuse Segment function instead. For more information, see How to: Create Segments by Reusing Logged Segments.

To create a segment by reusing segment criteria

  1. In the Search box, enter Segments, and then choose the related link.

  2. On the Home tab, in the New group, choose New.

  3. In the No. field, enter a new number for the segment, and in the Description field, enter a new description for the segment.

  4. Fill in the other fields on the header.

  5. On the Actions tab, in the Functions group, choose Segment, and then choose Reuse Criteria. The Saved Segment Criteria List window opens.

  6. Select the segmentation criteria that you want to use to create your segment, and choose the OK button.

The segment line is filled in with a list of the contacts currently fulfilling the segment criteria.

If you want to go one step back, on the Actions tab, in the Functions group, choose Segments, and then choose Go Back. For more information, see The Go Back Function (Segments).
