Scenario
We want to create a custom field that would list values depending on the selected value on a different custom field. This can be achieved by creating dependent Custom Segments.
Solution
To create a custom segment we need to enable the custom segments feature.
Go to Setup> Company> Enable feature
Under the SuiteCloud tab tick the custom segment check box and save.
