Segments provide a flexible way to group and sort your data records. At its core, a segment is a set of rules or criteria that automatically sort and group (past, present and future) data records. This can range from a simple check for 'active' members, to complex sets of rules that allow you to target specific demographics in specific teams or groups.

Please see here for full guidance on how to create a new Segment.

From alpine sheepCRM, click on the segments option in the top navigation to view all the segments that have been created for your flock.

You can switch between different types of segments by using the left-hand navigation, or use the all option, within the drop down to see every segment you currently have.
