# Creating Segments

Segments are one of the most important aspects of your Gleantap account. Everything from campaigns to automations is built upon segments and building your audience groups.&#x20;

For this article, we will start with the basics: How to Create and Configure your segments.&#x20;

The first thing you need to know is where to find the segment builder. You can do so by clicking on Audience on the left-hand side and then Segments.&#x20;

Next, follow the below steps to create your segment.&#x20;

Step 1: Navigate to Audience > Segments from the sidebar.

Step 2: Click on the green '+' button on the top right of the screen.

Step 3:  Enter a segment name, and then indicate if the segment is Static or Dynamic. A static segment will not change size, while a dynamic segment will change size based on the criteria set.&#x20;
