# Set Up Filter Value Sets

Filter value sets are reusable custom lists of text field values to be used in segmentation. Filter value sets allow 6sense to repeatedly filter segments using large, predefined lists of text field values. Instead of manually pasting a lists into a filter, you can create a filter value set and use it in segments.

Filter value sets are available to all users who can create segments or SI filters. There are no private filter value sets.

For an overview refer to [Filter Value Sets](/v1/docs/filter-value-sets).

## Prerequisites

- 6sense must be integrated with your CRM, either Salesforce, HubSpot, or Microsoft Dynamics.
- The field for which you want to create a filter value set must be a text field.
- Any Primary Administrator, Administrator, or Revenue Marketing or Sales Intelligence user can create a filter value set.
- You must be the Primary Administrator, Administrator, or the creator (owner) of a filter value set to edit it.

## Create a filter value set

Where you can create a filter value set depends on your user role permissions.

- **ABM > Segments**: Any Revenue Marketing or Sales Intelligence user with access to ABM. Refer to [Create a filter value set in Create Segments](/v1/docs/set-up-filter-value-sets#create-a-filter-value-set-in-settings)
- **SI > Filters**: Any Sales Intelligence user. Refer to [Create a filter value set in Sales Intelligence](/v1/docs/set-up-filter-value-sets#create-a-filter-value-set-in-sales-intelligence).
- **Settings > Data settings > Filter value sets**: Only Administrators have access to Settings. Refer to [Create a filter value set in Settings](/v1/docs/set-up-filter-value-sets#create-a-filter-value-set-in-settings1).

> [!TIP]
> Tip: When you create a filter value set, include the CRM field name in the name of the set. That way it is easier for users to select the set that matches the CRM field.

## Prepare a CSV file that includes the values

You can only create a filter value set by uploading a CSV file.

Prepare the value set CSV file with the following requirements:

- Plain text values
- Only one column
- No header row
- A comma at the end of each row’s entry
- 20,000 or fewer values (rows)

For example, the CSV contents would be like:

```plaintext
Value1,
Value2,
Value3,
Value4
```

There’s a sample file you can download from the **Create filter value set** panel.

### Access the Create Segment page from the filter value sets list

6sense can automatically initiate a new segment from one or more filter value sets in the **Settings**.

#### Initiate a new segment from a single filter value set

There are two ways to start a new segment from a single filter value set.

From the **Settings > Data settings > Filter value sets**, either:

- Select the **+** plus icon in the **Usage** column to open the Create Segment page and set up a new segment using the filter value set.

OR

- At the right of the row for the set, select **More** > **Create segment**. ![](https://cdn.us.document360.io/0e2cd0a2-b3b3-495b-80df-96f8381febea/Images/Documentation/Screenshot 2026-07-02 at 11.07.36 AM.png)

The **Create Segment** page opens with the pre-configured filter, using the CRM field and CSV file.

**Tip**: The **Create new** button here means that you create a new filter value set, not a new filter or segment.

1. From **Settings > Data settings > Filter value sets:**
2. Check the boxes of the sets you want to include.
3. Select **Take action > Create segment.**![](https://cdn.us.document360.io/0e2cd0a2-b3b3-495b-80df-96f8381febea/Images/Documentation/Screenshot 2026-07-02 at 11.53.22 AM.png)
4. The **Create Segments** page opens with the selected sets already set up for the segment filters. ![](https://cdn.us.document360.io/0e2cd0a2-b3b3-495b-80df-96f8381febea/Images/Documentation/Screenshot 2026-07-02 at 11.51.43 AM.png)
