After you create a segmentation job and add segments, populate the segments in the job to create contact or prospect lists.
When segments are populated, iMIS ensures that segments are not populated with any record that would be a duplicate of a record in another segment that is defined for the same segmentation job.
Populating segments can be a very lengthy operation. Segments are populated as a workflow task; you can continue using iMIS for other tasks while segments are being populated.
You cannot view the results in the populated segments until the segment population workflow task has been completed.
To repopulate segments that have already been populated, you must first purge the lists and then populate the segments.
After the segments have been populated, you cannot edit the segment definitions. To edit a segment definition after the segments have been populated, you must first purge the lists.
