Managing Profile Segments

Note:

Administrators can add, edit, or remove profile segments only when no profiles exist. Therefore, you must define profile segments once, during implementation.

When defining profiles in Account Reconciliation Manager, the profile account ID is stored in segments to facilitate filtering and reporting on the values. The number of profile segments is configurable and unlimited. For example, the account ID 100-1200-ABC contains three profile segments.

You can specify different types for profile segments:

Integer

Values ranging from 0-9. Use number segments for segments that require only numeric values.

List

Values entered into the profile segment are predefined; restrict them to an authorized set of values.

Text

Numbers, letters, and most special characters. Use hyphens (-) to delimit profile segments; so they cannot be used as a segment value. Use Text segments when segment values are not restricted to a defined list and may contain a wide range of values.
