ReportDynamics 365 Marketing comes with a collection of standard Segment templates designed to help get you started creating a variety of common segments.
Each segment template provides an initial query structure, but you’ll usually need to finish the query by supplying the values you are looking for and/or by adding new rows and groups as needed.
The standard segment templates also provide good examples that can help you learn common techniques for designing your own segments.
You’ll find the standard templates listed together with any custom templates you’ve created under Marketing > Marketing templates > Segment templates.
You can freely customize, rename, and delete (or deactivate) the standard templates as needed. You can also easily create your own segment templates
