Editing Segmentation (section)

== Examples using the multi-select operators ==
To help explain how "All of," "At least one of," and "None of" operators work in a segment, we are going to use the following example contacts and tags:
* Jane Doe - Tags: engaged, champion, new
* Martino Doe - Tags: engaged
* Macy Doe - Tags: none

=== Multi-Select Operator Examples ===
==== All of ====
Let’s segment for contacts that have all of the tags: engaged, champion, and new using the “Matches all of” multi-select operator. Instead of creating three separate conditions looking for each of these tags to exist, you can create one segment where the tag matches all of the above at once when selected from a checkbox list. In other words, the search would return a group of contacts where each unique contact has all of the tags: engaged and champion, and new on their contact profile. Think of this as a built-in AND statement which must include all selected criteria at once.

* '''Example:''' Contact - Jane Doe appears as a search result. Jane has all of the tags engaged, champion, and new on her contact profile.

==== At least one of ====
Let’s segment for contacts that have any one of the tags: engaged, champion or new using the “Matches any of” multi-select operator. Instead of creating three separate conditions looking for each of these tags to exist, you can create one segment where the tag matches any one of the above when selected from a checkbox list. In other words, the search would return a group of contacts where each unique contact has any one of the tags: engaged or champion, or new on their contact profile. Think of this as a built-in OR statement which must include at least one of the selected criteria.

* '''Example:''' Contact - Martino Doe appears as a search result. Martino has only the engaged tag on his contact profile. He still meets the search criteria even if all three were selected because he meets at least one.

==== None of ====
Let’s segment for contacts that have none of the tags: engaged, champion, and new using the “Matches none of” multi-select operator. Instead of creating three separate conditions looking for each of these tags to “not exist,” you can create one segment where the tag matches none of the above when selected from a checkbox list. In other words, the search would return a group of contacts where each unique contact does not have any of the selected tags: engaged and champion, and new on their contact profile. Think of this as a built-in AND statement which must not include all selected criteria at once.

* '''Example:''' Contact - Macy Doe appears as a search result. Macy does not have any of the tags: engaged, champion, or new on her contact profile. Because she has none of the above on her contact profile, she will appear in this search.

=== Additional Examples ===
To help explain how “every” and “at least one” operators work in a segment, we will use the following examples with contacts and lists.

==== Every list ====
Let’s segment for contacts that are in every list in your ActiveCampaign account. Instead of creating and updating separate conditions looking for individual lists to contact relationships, the "every list" operator ensures you are looking across all your lists, even if new lists are added or removed.

* '''Example:''' You want to get an idea for all of your contacts that are not subscribed to any of your lists (not active), so you can evaluate for list cleanup. In this case, you would look for “Is not subscribed to list (not active)” and then “Every list.” The result would provide you with all contacts that are not subscribed to any list so you can further evaluate for list cleanup.

==== At least one list ====
Let’s segment for contacts that are in at least one of your lists in your ActiveCampaign account. Instead of creating and updating separate conditions looking for individual lists to contact relationships, using the "at least one list" operator will ensure you always look across all your lists, even if new lists are added or removed.

* '''Example:''' You want to know how many contacts (& who) are actively subscribed to at least one of your lists and have Chicago as their location. Instead of breaking this down list by list, you can leverage the “At least one list" operator to easily get a more macro-level view of contact-to-list relationships. Here you would segment for “is subscribed to list (active)” then “at least one list,” AND location is Chicago.
