Redwood: Manage Segment Groups and Criteria Using a New User Experience

You can now use the Redwood user experience to manage segment groups and criteria. This capability enables you to use various criteria to group item-location combinations into segments to better manage the business requirements across your planning processes.

Using the Segment Groups and Criteria page, you can view, search for, create, duplicate, and delete segment groups. You can also create segments for each segment group and specify the criteria for grouping item-location combinations.

Using the Segment Groups and Criteria page, you can:

Search for or filter the segment groups using the segment group name or description
Sort the segment groups in the ascending or descending order.
Export the segment groups to a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet.
Create, edit, copy, or delete a segment group.
Run the segmentation process, view the segmentation summary, or go to the Segment Members page.
