📚 Introducing Nested Knowledge Segments

HyperComply’s Knowledge Segments are designed to help teams organize and surface the most relevant content for different questionnaire scenarios. With our latest update, you can now create nested Knowledge Segments—unlocking a deeper, more flexible way to structure your knowledge base.


🔍 What Are Nested Knowledge Segments?

Nested Knowledge Segments let you define multi-level segment hierarchies, so you can drill down from broad categories to very specific content. For example:

  • Industry → Product Line → Deal Size

  • Department → Compliance Tier

  • Privacy Setting → NDA Type

There’s no limit to the number of segment levels you can create, and you can choose whether each level is required or optional based on your workflow needs.


✨ Key Benefits

  • Smarter Content Matching

    During questionnaire responses, HyperComply will suggest answers based on the most relevant nested segment values.

  • Tailored Filtering

    Easily narrow knowledge base searches and questionnaire content suggestions by applying multiple levels of segments.

  • Customizable Structure

    Use nested segments to reflect your real-world team structures, product families, or customer tiers—without being locked into a flat hierarchy.


🧭 Common Use Cases

  • Healthcare > Enterprise > NDA Required

  • Government > SMB > Less than $50k

  • Product One > Product Config A > North America


🛠 How to Use Nested Knowledge Segments

  1. Create a New Segment

    • Add a primary segment (e.g., Industry) in your knowledge base settings.

  2. Add Nested Segment Values

    • Within any segment, define additional layers (e.g., Industry → Product Line).

    • Use typeahead to quickly select or create values during tagging.

  3. Apply Segments During Workflows

    • Tag individual questions or answers with nested segments.

    • Only relevant nested values will display when applicable.

    • Filter knowledge base searches and RFP answers by segment path.


💡 Tips

  • You can choose to require a selection at any level—useful for enforcing consistent content tagging.

  • Use nested segments to model internal org structures, regulatory tiers, or sales motions.
