- In the next screen, enter the following details:
- Choose processing type: Select which type of segment you want to create. For this, choose Static.
- Properties > Description: Add a description about this segment, providing further insight.
- Exclusions: Choose contacts, if any, need to be excluded from this segment
- Access: Manage what team(s) can view this segment
- Click Save and process segment
The segment will start to process based on the criteria and/or filters added. The set of contact records that appear first will just be a preview of your static segment. When the segment is saved and fully processed, the approximate number of contact records will appear underneath the segment name.
Static segments do not allow you to change the filter criteria. Once filter criteria has been saved, you cannot update it.
