Segmenting by field
When you segment data by a field in a database table, each distinct value in the field creates a separate segment. This option is most useful when the values in the field correspond to the segments you want to create.
For example, assume that you want to assign a different offer to customers in each of 10 regions. Your customer database contains a field called regionID, which indicates the region to which each customer belongs. Segment by the regionID field to create the 10 regional segments.
