## **Segments**

The **Segments** table shows a library of all saved segments, static and dynamic. 

Use the search bar to search through your table.![41209747428251.png](https://support.worldly.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/41209747428251.png?width=773&height=242&name=41209747428251.png)

 

Click the check box next to a segment to add the segment to a campaign, download, archive, or delete the segment. 

![41209747430171.png](https://support.worldly.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/41209747430171.png?width=773&height=280&name=41209747430171.png)

 

Clicking **Archive** will send the segment from the **Active** tab to the **Archive** tab.

![41209747436699.png](https://support.worldly.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/41209747436699.png?width=773&height=359&name=41209747436699.png)

## **How to Create a Segment**

There are two ways to create a Segment within WCS, either **From your Network** or **Upload a list or search.**

![49093717180699.png](https://support.worldly.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/49093717180699.png?width=368&height=327&name=49093717180699.png)

 

### **From Your Network **

This brings you to the **Network** tab, where you can create a dynamic or static segment from filters, or choose individual companies.  
![49093717181979.png](https://support.worldly.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/49093717181979.png?width=642&height=482&name=49093717181979.png)

There are three different ways to create segments from the **Network** tab.

**Method 1:** Using Filters

1. To create a new segment, apply at least one filter and click **Save as Segment** within the filters column.  
   ![42757772565147.png](https://support.worldly.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/42757772565147.png?width=189&height=443&name=42757772565147.png)  
    
2. Enter in the **Name** and any **Notes** associated with this segment.![33806637669019.png](https://support.worldly.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/33806637669019.png?width=277&height=375&name=33806637669019.png)  
    
3. Indicate whether this is a **Dynamic** or **Static Segment.** When saved, this will display a list of factories that align with the type of segment. Select **Save.**   
   ![33806670655515.gif](https://support.worldly.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/33806670655515.gif?width=275&height=371&name=33806670655515.gif)

**Method 2:** Using Search Keywords

1. Enter in a search keyword such as "Portugal" to generally search the **Network** table for any related records. Any facility with the keyword (ex: "Portugal" in the company name, tags, or country field) will appear in the **Network** table.   
   ![42757803547419.png](https://support.worldly.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/42757803547419.png?width=1019&height=331&name=42757803547419.png)  
    
2. Select **Save as Segment**.  
   ![42757589207707.png](https://support.worldly.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/42757589207707.png?width=186&height=96&name=42757589207707.png)  
    
3. Enter in the **Name** and any **Notes** associated with this segment.  
   ![42757589208731.png](https://support.worldly.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/42757589208731.png?width=403&height=542&name=42757589208731.png)  
    
4. Indicate whether this is a **Dynamic** or **Static Segment.** When saved, this will display a list of factories that align with the type of segment. Select **Save.**  
   ![42757589209115.gif](https://support.worldly.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/42757589209115.gif?width=366&height=184&name=42757589209115.gif)

**Method 3:** Assessment Status

1. In this example, the brand is creating this segment to prepare facilities for the upcoming cadence. Navigate to the FEM dropdown menu in the **Network Filters **and select 2025.  
   ![42757772566427.png](https://support.worldly.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/42757772566427.png?width=185&height=250&name=42757772566427.png)  
    
2. Enter the following in the **Status** and **Shared** fields. This will filter the **Network** table to all facilities that don't have a FEM 2025 assessment, haven't started a FEM 2025 assessment, or not shared their FEM 2025 assessment.  
   ![42757589210523.png](https://support.worldly.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/42757589210523.png?width=181&height=236&name=42757589210523.png) 
     - **Status:** No Assessment, Not Started
     - **Shared:** Not Shared  
        
3. Select **Save as Segment.**  
   **![42757575113883.png](https://support.worldly.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/42757575113883.png?width=181&height=88&name=42757575113883.png)**  
    
4. Enter in the **Name** and any **Notes** associated with this segment.  
   ![42757575114651.png](https://support.worldly.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/42757575114651.png?width=402&height=600&name=42757575114651.png)  
    
5. Indicate whether this is a **Dynamic** or **Static Segment.** When saved, this will display a list of factories that align with the type of segment. Select **Save.**  
   ![42757589209115.gif](https://support.worldly.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/42757589209115.gif?width=366&height=184&name=42757589209115.gif)

 

### **Upload a List or Search**

This option allows you to bulk import from a CSV file or search for individual companies, enabling you to upload directly to a segment.   
![49093733887131.png](https://support.worldly.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/49093733887131.png?width=393&height=525&name=49093733887131.png)

1. **Name:** Enter the name of the segment.
2. **Notes**: Enter in any applicable notes. Anything entered in the **Notes** section are internal-only notes for users managing the segment.
3. **Segment Type:** Since you are uploading a list without any filters, you will only be able to create a **Static** segment this way. [Click here](https://support.worldly.io/hc/en-us/articles/38545550370203-Network?hsLang=en#h_01JZ4141V03XXT5V4BCGNPYA6C:~:text=A%20segment%20that%20moves%20factories%20in%20or%20out%20of%20the%20filter%20based%20on%20the%20criteria%20being%20met.) to learn more about **Dynamic** segments.

 

Once this segment is saved, you are redirected to the **Upload List** page. Select **Add Companies** to open the bulk upload. If you haven't already, use the **Example CSV** available on this page to create a list for upload.

![49093733887643.png](https://support.worldly.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/49093733887643.png?width=611&height=580&name=49093733887643.png)

 

Next, upload your file:

1. Drag and drop your file onto the screen. Files can have up to 1,500 rows of data. You can upload the following file formats: CSV, Excel, or JSON. We recommend CSV as a best practice.  
   ![49093717184411.gif](https://support.worldly.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/49093717184411.gif?width=834&height=544&name=49093717184411.gif)  
    
2. Review the field mapping before clicking **Continue**.  
   ![49093733891099.png](https://support.worldly.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/49093733891099.png?width=624&height=412&name=49093733891099.png) 
     - If a field is missing or incorrect, select the dropdown arrow to select the desired field.
     - Preview the data for the category on the right side of the window. Hovering over different rows updates the preview window.
     - Select **Continue**.  
        
3. On the next page, review the bulk upload table for any errors. Check the Transformations section below for examples of transforming data.  
    

1. After the table has been reviewed and all errors have been resolved, click **Submit Data**.  
   ![49093733891867.png](https://support.worldly.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/49093733891867.png?width=154&height=107&name=49093733891867.png)  
    
2. You'll know if you were successful when you see the **Success** pop up.  
    

Once your file is successfully uploaded:  
![49093717188251.png](https://support.worldly.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/49093717188251.png?width=683&height=472&name=49093717188251.png)

1. Select all **Direct Matches**
2. **Add** all direct matches

 

![49093717189403.png](https://support.worldly.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/49093717189403.png?width=712&height=446&name=49093717189403.png)

This changes the match to **Already Added.** When creating a segment by **Upload a List or Search**, any match results are only matched against the facilities in the segment, not in the network.

 

![49093717189915.png](https://support.worldly.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/49093717189915.png?width=1028&height=300&name=49093717189915.png)

When you go into the segment you created, you'll see it's been added to the segment.

## Managing Shared Segment Access

At the top of the page, banners appear letting you know the segment is shared as well as who owns the segment. 

![54750678857499.png](https://support.worldly.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/54750678857499.png?width=2928&height=936&name=54750678857499.png)

### Removing Accounts From Shared Segments

1. At the top of the page of the shared segment, click the **information icon**.  
     - A pop-up box appears. 
2. Click **Remove your account from this segment**. 

![54750719053851.png](https://support.worldly.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/54750719053851.png?width=1082&height=576&name=54750719053851.png)

 

## **Module Share Notifications**

Module share requests are automatically sent to facilities when emails are enabled in campaigns. There are two locations where you'll see module share notifications**:** the Supply Chain dropdown and section headers. 

If you see blue notification bubbles next to an assessment type, this means:

1. There are modules that are shared with you that you haven't been accepted yet
2. There are requests to share your module that you haven't yet approved 

 

**Supply Chain Dropdown**

![46642919509531.png](https://support.worldly.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/46642919509531.png?width=475&height=268&name=46642919509531.png)

Clicking on the blue notification bubble will bring you to the appropriate **Modules** table.

![46642919514139.png](https://support.worldly.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/46642919514139.png?width=779&height=363&name=46642919514139.png)

 

**Section Headers**

If you have blue notification bubbles in the Supply Chain dropdown, these will be mirrored in the Network, Segments, and Campaigns section headers.

![46642934252315.png](https://support.worldly.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/46642934252315.png?width=704&height=101&name=46642934252315.png)

Clicking on the blue notification bubble in the section header opens a pop up to review shares of that assessment type.

![46642919526171.png](https://support.worldly.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/46642919526171.png?width=527&height=223&name=46642919526171.png)

1. Select **Accept All** to bulk accept.
2. Select **Accept/Decline** to review each share individually.
3. Select **Details in Module** if you want to view the request in the corresponding **Modules** table.  
   ![46642919514139.png](https://support.worldly.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/46642919514139.png?width=779&height=363&name=46642919514139.png)

If ABC Clothing Facility is targeted within this campaign and submits energy data for Q1 and Q2 of 2024 (January, February, March, April, May, and June 2024), they will still receive this email due to the fact that they belong to the **Segment** we created above.

In other words, even though ABC Clothing Facility:

1. ✅ Has submitted requested energy data,
2. ✅ During the requested reporting period (Q1 and Q2 of 2024),
3. ✅ And effectively fulfilled the requirements of the campaign,

ABC Clothing Facility will still be included in the campaign (and receive emails from the campaign) since **the emails are sent based on whether a facility is included in the segment**.

Bottom Line: Emails are sent based on the criteria used to create segments, as opposed to the criteria used to create a campaign.
