Segments

Segments are a feature of the system that allows you to easily create a list of products that meet specific conditions. Some examples:

Attribute exists,
Product completeness,
The product belongs to a category,
Product has status

Segments are also used to make a set of products that can be assigned to a specific API key.

Segments are dynamic, which means that any changes in the product will be taken into consideration while evaluating segment conditions. That means that if you change anything in the product, segments will be re-evaluated and the products available in them may change automatically. This is done automatically and in the background, so having a lot of segments and lots of products may decrease performance, and you will need to wait a while till segments are recalculated.

A list created this way can also be used, for example, to send only some products via API, or be used with a module to export a file in the .csv format.

Create a new segment

To create a new segment click on + NEW SEGMENT in the upper right corner.

Now type a name for this segment. Choose a name that will allow you to identify its content.

Once saved, the segment name cannot be changed, so if you are in need of change, delete it and create a new one.

Click on CREATE to save a segment or CREATE & EDIT to open it in edit mode. In edit mode, you will have access to three tabs: General, Translations, and Conditions.

General

Not much you can do here but see a name of a segment.

Translations

Here you may set or change an attribute displayed name, it can be different per every language. By default, only the main language is displayed but you may change it from the drop-down Translations menu.

Keep in mind, that for a language to be available in this drop-down, it must first be activated from settings.

Conditions

This is probably the most important tab in Segments, as here you are able to set up different conditions for a product to meet, so they will be added to a segment by the system.

Available conditions are displayed on the left panel, to add them you simply drag and drop them.

In conditions where the user has a multi-select type to choose from, it's possible to select more than one, system will treat this as "OR".

Please be aware that configuration means: "if the product belongs to Monitors or Phillips category". If you wish for a condition to say: "if the product belongs to more than one (specific) category" the proper configuration is to use the same condition twice.

You can add one or more conditions but remember that both of them will need to be met for a product to appear in that segment.

Depending on the condition there may be extra options to choose from.

When you are done, click on SAVE CHANGES.
