New and Enhanced Features

Filter Segments by User Status

You can now choose whether a segment includes active contacts, deactivated contacts, or both. Use the new User Status filter at the start of the filter bar in People to build segments of deactivated contacts for auditing and reporting, or combine active and deactivated records in one view. Segments continue to include active contacts only by default, so existing segments are unchanged. Note that calculated segments and segments evaluated by workflows or journeys always use active contacts. Learn more in Creating a Segment.
