Custom Segment Types

Every custom segment must have a type. The way you set a value for a segment in SOAP web services varies depending on the segment’s type.

A segment can be either of two types, as described in the following table.

Type

Description

To represent in SOAP web services, use:

List/Record

Lets the user save only one selection for the segment

SelectCustomFieldRef

Multiple Select

Lets the user save multiple selections for the segment

MultiSelectCustomFieldRef

Both SelectCustomFieldRef and MultiSelectCustomFieldRef are represented by the CustomFieldRef abstract class. You can include both of these types of objects in a single CustomFieldList. For examples, see Example of Setting a List/Record Segment Value and Example of Setting Values for Multiple Segments.
