Segmentation allows for the contacts in a parent campaign to be filtered into separate children campaigns based on data in the contact fields.  In addition, a segmentation template may also be used against the Contact manager to filter a list of contacts.  Templates are defined by source, transaction for campaign uploads, and contact for contact lists.  Once a source is defined, you will only be available to use them against that source.

Segmentation is a powerful tool to filter campaigns in LVP, for advanced configuration options see Segmentation in the Administrative User Guide.
