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 fields such as Phone, Phone 1, Phone 2, (through Phone 10), SMS, and other custom fields support E.164 format.
