Create segments using filters
Introduction
Segments are equipped with predefined rules using which you can set conditions for each partition. The segment details are updated automatically based on the ruleset. Rule-based segments are usually SCD and activity-based.
For example, you can have a segment based on RFM (Recency, Frequency, Monetary) and have partitions as explained below:
-
Champions: High spending customers who purchased recently and also shop quite often
(Last Txn Date in the last 10 days) AND (Latency < 25) AND (Lifetime Purchased > 500) -
Loyal Customers: A frequent shopper and responsive to promotions.
(Last Txn Date in the last 30 days) AND (Latency between 25 and 45) AND (Lifetime Purchased between 200 and 500)
- You can create up to 10 SCD segments per org unit. So if you want to create a new one thereafter, you need to deactivate an existing SCD segment and create a new one. However, there is no limit on non-SCD segments.
To create a rule-based segment:
- On the EI navigation pane, click User Segments > Create Segment.
- In Segment Name, specify a name for the group.
- In Description, specify a short description of the segment.
- In Type, select SCD to keep a track of customers' behavior for the current segment. Select Non-SCD to save only the current snapshot.
- In Method, choose Conditions for creating based on rule conditions.
- Click Next to continue.
- In Update, choose your preferred frequency for updating the segment data.
- Manually: To update the partition values manually. The list will be updated only if the list is refreshed manually on the segment details page.
- Daily: To update the segment values on a daily basis.
- Weekly: To update the list on a weekly basis.
- Monthly: To update the list on a monthly basis.
- In Partition name, specify a name for the partition.
- In Description, specify a short description for the partition.
- Click +Add rule > Customer summary KPIs and choose the desired option on which you want to define the condition.
