Creating a Segment
Now you will create a segment to use on the form. A segment can be thought of as a small form containing objects that you will use again and again. Segments can be added to forms or projects, and can be scaled or rotated as needed.
The JBT segment contains a rounded corner box, with a watermark of their logo. It also contains a text object for the text “Account Number” and “Statement Date”. JBT is planning on using this design element on many of their statements, in many different sizes. Therefore, it should be created as a segment.
