Can you add comments within a filter in a Smart List?

[lindas]

To add comments, -- is what I use in Oracle and ; is what I use in Unica.

Does Marketo have the option to add a comment within the filters? For example, if I select the Email Address filter within the Smart List of a campaign, I want to add a comment to explain a section.

--people who signed up for class 1

aaa@test.com

bbb@test.com

--people who signed up for class 2

ccc@test.com

ddd@test.com

--provided by phone

eee@test.com

Is that doable? Looking for something similar to Unica where we can comment within the filter.

Technically, no.

But in the specific case of an email address, you can use the comment-like prefix #  (hash plus space) because those characters could never start a valid email address. (Per RFC 5321 an email address with a space must start with a quotation mark.)

Of course this won’t work with an [is not] filter, only an [is].

Anyway, there’s no official inline comment feature.

Just to throw an idea out there: If you don't use "Email Address Is" but "Member of List" or "Member of Smart List", you could add your records to lists and name these lists accordingly. Something like this:
