Segmentation tags allow you to target content at specific groups of users, based, for example, on age, activity, behavioral analytics, or other shared characteristics that you identify. Create a tag for a sub-group, apply it to a row and easily direct the content of the row to that particular group, or *segment*, of users. > [!NOTE] > **Note:**Every segment requires some backend integration. The External ID is used to link the segmentation tag to an external source ID, which feeds in the relevant USER segment data. ### The Segmentation Tags page To create new, or to view or edit existing segmentation tags, navigate to the *ADMIN* menu and select *Settings*. ![Segmentation_tag_navigation.png](https://cdn.document360.io/2e698e3c-4773-44a4-9476-1d05bac85eee/Images/Documentation/360009927820.png) > [!NOTE] > **Note:** This area of Presentation Manager is permission-based. Access to this functionality will depend on your role settings. On the left-hand side of the screen, select the option *Segmentation Tags*. ![Segmentation_tags_-_main_page.png](https://cdn.document360.io/2e698e3c-4773-44a4-9476-1d05bac85eee/Images/Documentation/4403828788626.png) Pre-existing segmentation tags display in rows separated by group, for example, *Activity* or *Age Group*, and listed alphabetically. By default, the *Show archived tags* toggle ([AXIS 9.3](/v1/docs/release-notes-axis-93-q3-21) and above) at the top of the screen is switched off, and only live segmentation tags are shown. Switch the toggle *on* to include tags that have been archived. Archived tags can be identified by their grey color. ![Show_archived_tags_-_toggle_on.png](https://cdn.document360.io/2e698e3c-4773-44a4-9476-1d05bac85eee/Images/Documentation/4403821573138.png) As well as *Live* and *Archived*, you can see other tag statuses on this page, for example, where there has been an error in deleting or archiving the tag. ![Segmentation_tag_states_-_Admin.png](https://cdn.document360.io/2e698e3c-4773-44a4-9476-1d05bac85eee/Images/Documentation/4403821942034.png) A green tag with a hollow circle ![Segmentation_tag_-_draft.png](https://cdn.document360.io/2e698e3c-4773-44a4-9476-1d05bac85eee/Images/Documentation/4403829505170.png) indicates a tag that's still in a draft state. #### How do I create a new segmentation tag? 1. Click the ![New_Segmentation_Tag_button.png](https://cdn.document360.io/2e698e3c-4773-44a4-9476-1d05bac85eee/Images/Documentation/360009929319.png) button 2. Enter details into the relevant fields: ![New_segmentation_tag_details.png](https://cdn.document360.io/2e698e3c-4773-44a4-9476-1d05bac85eee/Images/Documentation/360009929259.png) - *Title* (mandatory): Name your segmentation tag here, for example, *Trending Movies* (30 character limit). - *Group* (mandatory): Name your segmentation tag group here, for example, *Trending.* Group segmentation tags belonging to the same category. ![Create_new_segmentation_tag_group.gif](https://cdn.document360.io/2e698e3c-4773-44a4-9476-1d05bac85eee/Images/Documentation/360009930439.gif) Either select an existing segmentation group from the list or enter text to search all groups. If your search doesn't identify an existing group, a *create new group* option is displayed. - *External ID* (mandatory): This is a unique, externally-defined identifier, accepting any visible ASCII character ([AXIS 9.3](/v1/docs/release-notes-axis-93-q3-21) onwards). The External ID links the segmentation tag to an external source ID (either a table or database which holds the users' data.) - *Description*: This is a free text field. Describe your segmentation tag here (1024 character limit.) 3. To save, click the ![Create_tag_button.png](https://cdn.document360.io/2e698e3c-4773-44a4-9476-1d05bac85eee/Images/Documentation/360009932780.png) button. > [!NOTE] > **Note:** On save, the newly-created segmentation tag and group both have a *Live* status and are available to use in Presentation Manager. #### How do I manage segmentation tags? There are two ways to access segmentation tag functions: 1. Hover over a tag to display the options arrow ![Tag_menu_icon.png](https://cdn.document360.io/2e698e3c-4773-44a4-9476-1d05bac85eee/Images/Documentation/4403830081682.png). From here you can select to *edit*, *archive* (AXIS 9.3 onwards), or *delete* the tag. The *Edit* option will open the *Edit Segmentation Tag* page - see below. ![Tag_dropdown_menu.png](https://cdn.document360.io/2e698e3c-4773-44a4-9476-1d05bac85eee/Images/Documentation/4403830017042.png) > [!NOTE] > **Note:**The delete action cannot be undone. 2. Click on a segmentation tag title to open the *Edit Segmentation Tag* page. Here you can modify existing segmentation tag information, view the status and last modified information and perform further actions. ![Segmentation_tag_-_hover.png](https://cdn.document360.io/2e698e3c-4773-44a4-9476-1d05bac85eee/Images/Documentation/4403843055378.png) #### Edit a segmentation tag 1. Update the information in the relevant fields: ![Edit_segmentation_tag.png](https://cdn.document360.io/2e698e3c-4773-44a4-9476-1d05bac85eee/Images/Documentation/360009932759.png) 2.

Alternatively select the *More* menu for additional options to ![Archive_tag_-_More_menu_small.png](https://cdn.document360.io/2e698e3c-4773-44a4-9476-1d05bac85eee/Images/Documentation/4403839001874.png) archive ([AXIS 9.3](/v1/docs/release-notes-axis-93-q3-21)) or delete the tag. Your segmentation tags are now available to use within Presentation Manager.
