What are segments?
Segments are a subdivision of the crowd types. For example; you can subdivide the crowd type ‘Crew’ into ‘Organization’, ‘Bar’, and ‘Security’.
How do you determine your segments?
Segments can be used to send out specific briefings or to keep track of certain groups of persons. How to specify those groups of people, is completely up to your preferences and dependent on the type of organization. For instance, ‘Entertainment’ could be a good segment for a music festival, while for a theatre festival, this might not be specific enough. Choose your segments based upon which groups of people might need an individual briefing, or specific groups you want to keep track of.
