How to Create Frequently Used Segments

Overview

Segments allow you to group and manage applicants by common criteria. For example, you can create segments of applicants missing evaluations, applicants with a home town state of NJ, applicants with gold signals, etc. Once you create a segment, you can access it as needed and perform various actions, such as emailing those applicants or moving them into a new phase.
