Direct Mail Output: Segment Number?

Hello! Has anyone tried adding an Output item that includes something like "Segment Number?"

Our direct mail lists have multiple segments, and then often I complete some manual manipulation & deletion after extracting. But it would be helpful to know who is in a "high priority" segment and should not be cut from the list. I do not want to handle this through sources; I want just one source for the mailing piece.

I can't figure out an easy way to do this, so I'm wondering if anyone else has found a trick. Thank you!

  • Hi! My colleague and I were just discussing this the other day. We are now in v16 and she recalled that in v15 the priority number was one of the first four output columns in the text file that were not part of our output set. She had used it for the exact same reason - cutting people from the list if needed - without us having to add it to an output set. We don't see it anymore in v16, but just thought I'd mention it here.
