What are Organisational segments?

Organisational segments are a flexible way to organise your users into groups based on your organisation structure.

Some examples are:

• Users segmented into departments – sales segment, catering segment and an accounts segment.
• Users segmented into locations – Manchester segment, Birmingham segment and a London segment.

When you have users grouped into segments you can:

• Report/view on users in a specific segment.
• Make an administrator responsible for a specific segment.
• Use Smart Enrolments, see How to add/remove Smart Enrolments.

How it works

The segment is created using a custom profile field and a segment rule.

Using our department example above:

First, you create a custom profile field called Department.

Then enter the user’s department, either Sales, Catering or Accounts, into their Department profile field.

Lastly, create your Sales segment by giving it:

• a title - Sales
• a rule - All users where Department contains Sales.

Rule structure

The rule looks like this:

Segment [Title] includes all users WHERE [Profile field] EQUALS or CONTAINS [Value]

Using our Sales example above it looks like this:

Segment Sales includes all users WHERE Department CONTAINS Sales.
