# Segmenting Your Contacts

Your Contact list is made up of many different groups, each Contact has a different relationship with you, and each group is always changing. Keeping up with those changes can feel like a full time job. So how do you segment your Contact list in order to keep up with you?

In Daylite, you can segment your Contact list with filters. Save these filters, and they will automatically update whenever a Contact changes.

## Creating Contact Segments

There are an infinite number of ways to segment your Contacts. The following example demonstrates how you could target people who you haven't been in contact with.

1. Open Daylite and click the **Add Filter** icon.

When you click on the Add Filter Icon, you will see the Filter popover. Each row can be configured to filter by a different field.

1. What do you want to filter?
2. How do you want to filter the search?
3. You can add additional sub-filters.

To filter Contacts without recent activity, update the filter.

1. Set your Filter to **Match All**.
2. Filter for **Categories** that are **Leads.**.
3. Click **...** to add a sub-filter.
4. Set the sub-filter to **Do not match all**.
5. Click the first pop-up button and select **Activity**.
6. Choose **in last** and type **90 days**.

Your Filter should look like this:

## Saving Contact Segments

1. Click **Save As Smart List**.

2. Name the Smart List **Leads Going Cold.**

Every Filter you create and save as a Smart List is automatically placed in the Daylite sidebar.
