How to create central segments in Mews Multi-Property

To create central segments:

1. In your portfolio account, go to the main menu > Segments.

The Segments screen lists every centrally managed segment in your portfolio, with the name, services, segment key, and number of assigned properties and services.

 

Step 1: Create central segment

To start creating a central segment:

1. In the top right of the screen, select Create segment.
2. In the Starting point step, select one of the following options:

• Start from scratch to create a central segment with a blank template.
• Use existing configuration to pre-fill the segment from a local segment in one of your properties.

3. Select Next.

 

Note: Use existing configuration is useful when you already have a segment set up in one property and want to standardize it across your portfolio.

 

Step 2: Add segment details

1. In the Details step, enter a Name for the segment. The name identifies the segment within Mews and must be unique across your portfolio. Note: There is a 70-character limit.
2. Enter a Segment key. The segment key maps the segment to an external system or integration.
3. Select Next.

 

Step 3: Configure services

1. In the Configuration step, click to open the Service dropdown.
2. Select a service that the segment applies to. Only central services are listed.
3. Select Save.

 

The new central segment appears in the Central segments tab. Values you set at the central level are saved as portfolio-wide defaults and are automatically applied to each property when you assign the segment for the first time.
