Segments are an easy way to search, sort, group, and analyze Leads, Persons, and Companies in GoCRM. You can use Basic Filters such as field values (eg. view all contacts with no inbound phone calls for a certain amount of time) and set up custom filters based on specific sets of criteria.
Segment Types
Filtered Segments
A filtered segment is a list automatically generated based on a set of filters. For example, if you create a filtered segment of all contacts with contact status customers, as you add new contacts that meet that criteria the list will update on its own. By default, all segments are filtered.
Static Segments
A static segment is a list generated manually by a user. For example, if you have a list of hot leads, you can manually select them and add them to a list or remove them from a list.
Segment Options
When selecting an individual segment you will see an options menu next to the segment title.
Clone
Cloning a segment will allow you to duplicate the set of filters into a new segment.
Rename
Rename will allow you to change the segment's name.
Share with Team
Share with the team, will allow you to share your segment will all users, in the system. Certain permissions may be required.
Convert to Static
Converting a segment to static, will turn your filtered segment it into a setlist. The list will no longer update automatically. You will have to add or delete any future contacts into the static segment.
Remove from Favorites
Removing from favorite will remove your segment from your sidebar.
Make Default
When making a segment default, it will be your primary contact list view any time you load the page.
Delete
This will permanently remove the segment.
Please be aware this can affect your marketing campaigns if the segment being deleted is associated with automation or outreach.
