  3. In the Demandbase Custom Field window, enter the following:
    • Select Segment from the Data drop-down list.
    • Select the Segment you want to map to Salesforce.
    • Select the SDFC Account Field, SDFC Lead Field, or SFDC Contact Field to map the Segment to. The Salesforce field options available depend on the Segment you selected and the Segment’s member type.
