A segment list may be used within a standard GXL formula by replacing any of the account segment values with the desired segment list name. A caret symbol (^) must be inserted prior to the segment list name in the formula for the system to recognize the segment list. A user's ability to create/maintain segment lists is determined by a parameter setting on the user's User tab in the Configurator component. 1. In Excel from the SS toolbar or ribbon, select Segment Lists (see SS Toolbar or SS Ribbon). The Maintain Segment Lists panel appears. Nav Tip:This panel may also be accessed by selecting the Segment Lists tab on the Control Panel -or- by selecting the Maintain Segment Lists button on the General Settings panel. 2. To create a new segment list, enter a segment list name and description, then click the Add List button. This action creates the segment list header. 3. Enter the desired segment values in the Segment List Value field. Click the Add Inclusive Value or Add Exclusive Value button depending on desired criteria. If a value is excluded, a slash will appear in front of the list value. Single segment values, ranges, wildcards, or existing segment lists (nested) can be used. Segment lists can be used for any portion of the account string. When all values have been entered, click OK. 4. To remove a value from the segment list, select the value in the grid and click the Remove Value button. 5. To change an existing segment list's description or segment list values, select the desired segment list and key over the description and/or update the segment list values.
