# Segmenting by Priority

Another approach to segmenting is to use the **Priority field** for Companies in Daylite. The Priority field is essentially a grading system, whereby you assign a number from 1, being the lowest, to 10, being the highest to the Company.

This is similar to using the **Cold, Warm and Hot Category** segmentation method, but this method frees up the Category field entirely, which can be used for other segmentation approaches.&#x20;

For example you might have a Category of **Client** for Companies but use the Priority field to rank your clients in order of Priority.
