Steps for configuring contact segments.

Contact segmentation in CRM involves categorizing and organizing contacts based on specific criteria such as demographics, behavior, or preferences. This enables businesses to tailor their communication and marketing strategies, providing a more personalized and targeted approach to engage with contacts effectively.

 

1. Go to the Customers Module.

 
Click on Customers
 
 

2. Go to the ‘Segmentation’ option on the left menu.

 
Click on  Segmentation…
 
 

3. Click on the ‘Add’ icon located in the top right corner.

 
Click on basic:icon-ico-add
 
 

4. In the setup section, input the essential details for segmentation, including the name, description, business region, business location for which segmentation should be active, and the date until which the segmentation needs to be active.

Note: A segment can be set for multiple locations, but if you want to use the segment for promotions, only one location should be assigned to it. Promotions can be mapped with segments with only one location.

 
Click on Segment Name
 
 

5. Match settings among tabs is a crucial element in segmentation, encompassing two distinct types:

a. Match Any – By choosing the “Match Any” option, any one of the rule sets will be considered for segmentation across all tabs (Tags, Profiling, Quotes, Jobs, Opportunities, Warranty) to segment the contacts set added in these tabs.

b. Match All – By choosing the “Match All” option, it will take into account the entire rule set for segmentation to match across all tabs to obtain the contacts.

 
Click on Match Any…
 
 

6. Set on which data you want to run the query for segmenting the contacts. You can set it to Active, Archive, or both. This will check the functions like Quotes, Jobs, Opportunities, and Customers as per this setting.

 
Click on Active List…
 
 

7. Select any tab to apply the rule set for segmentation.

10. The match settings within the specific rule set play a vital role in bringing in the desired contacts, encompassing three distinct types:

a. Match Any – By choosing the “Match Any” option, any one of the rule sets will be considered for segmentation across all tabs to retrieve the contacts.

b. Match All – By choosing the “Match All” option, it will take into account the entire rule set for segmentation to match across all tabs to obtain the contacts.

c. Match Except – By choosing the “Match Except” option, if you are segmenting contacts based on certain tags but want to exclude those with a specific tag, you would use the “match except” configuration. This ensures that contacts meeting the defined criteria are segmented, except for those that satisfy the specified exceptions.
