# Create segments for teams

As your organization grows, you can use segmentation to manage Adaptive Metrics on a per-team or per-service basis. With segments in place, each team filters the UI to view recommendations and manage rules that apply only to their specific metrics.

1. Navigate to **Adaptive Metrics** > **Segments**.

Click **Add new segment**.

Enter a descriptive **Name** for your segment that clearly identifies the team it applies to.

Enter a **Label** — the metric label that distinguishes the metrics belonging to a particular team (for example, `namespace` in Kubernetes).

Enter a **Value** — the criteria for matching the label (for example, `web-frontend` or `web-backend`).

(Optional) Select **Fallback to default rules** to apply general rules to metrics that do not belong to a specific team segment.

(Optional) Select **Enable auto-apply Preview** to let Adaptive Metrics automatically apply new recommendations for this segment as they are generated. Leave it unchecked if you prefer to review and apply manually — you can change this later from **Edit segment**.

Click **Add** to create the segment.
