[Segments](https://success.gotab.io/knowledge/cart-rules-segments-loyalty-memberships?hsLang=en#segments) # Segments **Segments **simply refer to a group of people. Examples of segments include employees, teachers, first responders, military, and locals. Once the segment is created under rules, discounts can be associated with the segment. You can use segments to manage discounts for different groups manually or you can have your guests enroll in the segments so that discounts will be applied automatically when those guests are ordering.  When the guest enrolls in a segment, they will receive a discount each time they order from the establishment. Guests can enroll in the group by scanning a QR or clicking a link associated with the group just navigate to Links & QRs. From the Segments dashboard, operators can control guest enrollment. **Control your Segments** There are two types of segments you can create depending on how much security you'd like to assign to the group. An unrestricted segment generates a QR and link, which can be scannable by anyone who has access to the link or QR. A restricted segment generates a QR and link as well, however, you must input guest phone numbers in order for them to enroll in the group and gain entry to associated discounts. You should use restricted segments when offering a specific group of people a large discount. For example, you may give owners a 100 percent discount. If the QR or link ended up in the wrong hands, a random person may attempt to scan into the group, however, if restricted their access would be denied since their phone number wasn't inputted into the system. **How to Create Segments** 1. In GoTab's back end, navigate to Segments. 2. Click the +add segment button at the bottom. 3. Input the segment name and to create an unrestricted segment hit create.  4. If you wish to create a restricted segment, click the checkbox next to **restrict segment **and add a phone number to create the segment.  **Manage Enrollment ** Once users are enrolled, easily add and remove people by clicking the people icon. Use the check box to remove guests from specified groups. To add people to a **restricted segment**, you must input their phone numbers. **Unrestricted Segment** ![](https://files.cdn.thinkific.com/file_uploads/575185/images/11c/495/a9a/Screen_Shot_2022-06-06_at_1.00.36_PM.png)   **Restricted Segment** ![](https://files.cdn.thinkific.com/file_uploads/575185/images/295/8b2/558/Screen_Shot_2022-06-06_at_12.47.49_PM.png)     -
