Editing Custom Segments

In some cases, you may want to edit an existing custom segment. For example, you may want to change the segment’s label, the record types where the segment is applied, or the segment’s default value. Most fields on a custom segment can be changed after creation, but there are some exceptions:

For more information about editing custom segments, see Inactivating a Custom Segment and Deleting a Custom Segment Definition.

When you create a custom segment, an associated custom record type is also created. The custom record type has the same name as the custom segment. You can edit the custom record at any time to add custom segment values. For more information about creating custom record types, see Creating Custom Record Types.

Custom segment definitions can be updated at any time, even if the segment is used in a transaction that's in a closed period.

Note also that changing the Type field from Multiple Select to List/Record can cause data loss. For more details, see Custom Segment Types.

To edit a custom segment:

  1. Go to Customization > Lists, Records, & Fields > Custom Segments.

  2. In the list, find the segment and click Edit.

  3. Make any necessary changes. If you need to add or update values, and the Values sublist is dimmed, click Manage Values. This opens a separate page for working with values. For details, see Creating Values by Clicking Manage Values.

    If you need help understanding other fields on the segment definition, see the following topics:

  4. After making all necessary changes on the segment definition, click Save.
