Prerequisites:

A recipient list containing a column containing the values you would like to use for segmentation.

 

Example:

You want to send emails to the first 20 recipients of your lists whose last names start with the letter "M".

 

Implementation:

•Select the recipient list you would like to filter.

•Click "New Filter" in the "Home" menu to create a new filter.

•Enter a name for the filter. The filter will now be shown as a sub-item of the recipient list.

•You can now configure the filter to show the first 20 entries starting with "M":

oSelect the "Last Name" column.

oSelect "starts with" and enter "M" in the edit field.

oTo show only the first 20 entries, check the option "Limit the amount of recipients for this filter." and enter the value "20" in the edit field.

•The original recipient list is now filtered to show only the first 20 entries starting with an "M". If you start a sending task, only those 20 recipients will receive an email.
