# Creating Segments
> Build and save filtered account views as reusable segments in WhiteWhale. Filter by signal type, industry, score, or owner to create focused account lists.
## How to create a segment
You'll see the segment builder open with your available filters.
Give it a clear name that describes what the accounts have in common — for example, *Mid-Market Targets*, *Enterprise Hunting*, or *Closed Lost Q1*.
Choose which signals you want accounts in this segment to have. You don't need to select any — leaving signals blank includes accounts regardless of signal activity. But adding signals narrows the segment to accounts that match those specific triggers.
Apply any combination of the remaining filters:
* **Tags** — filter to specific account tags if you've labeled your list
* **Account status** — active only, suggested only, or both
* **Owner** — one rep or all reps
* **Employee count** — set a range that fits your target company size
* **Location** — specific states, countries, or all
* **Industry** — one or more industries, or all
Your segment is saved and appears in the segment list. Click it any time to reload those filters and see the current matching accounts.
Think about what makes your best accounts similar — not just in firmographics, but in what they're doing right now. The most useful segments combine company size with 2–3 specific signals that indicate buying intent, not just fit.
