Group: One or more sets of criteria; using a group of filtering criteria enables you to define complex conditions.

Criteria Types
Marketing Status
First Email Subscribe Date: The date a contact first subscribed to an email list.
Most Recent Email Subscribe Date: The date a contact last resubscribed to an email list.
Segments: Include/exclude contacts within a saved segment. The selected segment name will always display making it easy to identify which segments were used when reviewing message reports. Learn how to create a saved segment for reuse.
ā ļø This criteria type is ONLY available when building filters in the Message Authoring page and not when creating a saved segment in the Segment Manager page because they cannot be nested.

Operators
There are two levels of operators; Primary(Logical) operators, which connect two or more sets of criteria or filter groups and Secondary/(Relational) operators, which calculate the relationship between a selection of data and a value.
Primary Operators
AND:
All rules must be met by the contact
This operator is more restrictive
The segment count will become smaller than if the OR operator was used
OR :
Only one of the rules must be met by the contact
This operator is more inclusive
The segment count will be larger than if the AND operator was used
Secondary Operators
Text: Is, Is Not, Starts With, Contains, Does Not Contain, Is In The Comma Delimited List, Is Not In The Comma Delimited List.
Numeric: Is Greater Than, Is Greater Than or Equal To, Is Less Than, Is Less Than or Equal To, Is Equal To, Is Not Equal To, Is In The Comma Delimited List, Is Not In The Comma Delimited List, Is Between, Is Not Between. Is Within, Is Not Within - used with automated geolocation.
Radio Button: Is On, Is Off.
Check Box: Is Checked, Is Not Checked.
Date:
Relative: Is Today, Is More Than, Is Exactly, Is Less Than, Is Between, Is Not Between.
Absolute: Is After, Is On, Is Before, Is Between, Is Not Between.
State: Is Unknown, Has Any Value.
Things to consider when using inverse operators:
The operator selected within a single group will be universal for that group.
A different operator can be used in a new group within the same segment.
The operator selected between groups will be universal for that particular segment.
š” Helpful Tips
Adding a large number of criteria, especially options such as 'in the comma delimited list,' can cause a delay or failure in filter processing. Consider the specific goal of the filter when using the criteria below.
Some criteria require selecting a data source such as Email Activity and Purchase History that require Email List selection and Merchant selection respectively.
Email List: Choose to use information from the current list, or information that is an aggregate of all lists.
Merchant: Select the appropriate Merchant. This automatically populates if you have the Merchant selected as Default in Manage > List > List Settings
How the segment counts are calculated:
The order of the groups does not alter the segment count.
The rules within each group will be evaluated, and then the groups together.
