Create segments

To create a segment you must use the CreateSegment method of PersonalizationManager. First, you initialize the PersonalizationManager. When creating a new segment, it is recommended to set at least the following properties:

Name
Description

You can also set any other properties in this step - LastModified, IsActive, CriteriaGroups etc.

The following code creates a segment with the specified Name and Description:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using Telerik.Sitefinity.Personalization.Impl;

namespace Telerik.Sitefinity.Documentation.CodeSnippets.DevGuide.SitefinityEssentials.Personalization
{
    public partial class PersonalizationSnippets
    {
        public static void CreateSegment()
        {
            var personalizationManager = PersonalizationManager.GetManager();
            var segment = personalizationManager.CreateSegment();
            segment.Name = "custom segment";
            segment.Description = "description goes here";
            personalizationManager.SaveChanges();
        }
    }
}

The CreateSegment method has another overload that accepts an Id as a parameter. The following code demonstrates how to create a segment by Id:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using Telerik.Sitefinity.Personalization.Impl;

namespace Telerik.Sitefinity.Documentation.CodeSnippets.DevGuide.SitefinityEssentials.Personalization
{
    public partial class PersonalizationSnippets
    {
        public static void CreateSegmentById(Guid segmentId)
        {
            var personalizationManager = PersonalizationManager.GetManager();
            var segment = personalizationManager.CreateSegment(segmentId);
            segment.Name = "custom segment";
            segment.Description = "description goes here";
            personalizationManager.SaveChanges();
        }
    }
}
