    Note The Done button is disabled until all paths in the split are unique.

Example A marketer wants to send targeted communications to military service members based on their branch affiliation. The marketer uses a data extension that includes a contact attribute that contains each branch of the military. When configuring the split, the marketer drags the Military Branches attribute into the filter expression. In this example, the marketer standardized the list of values available in the dropdown menu by configuring restricted values. So the marketer selects Army and configures the rest of the path. After configuring the first path, the marketer follows the steps to make a copy and configure it for the Navy. Then the marketer repeats the process to configure paths for the other branches of the military.
