# Selective Set Module Overview

### Objective of Selective Sets

The **Selective Set Module** combines multiple sets of information using Boolean operators (AND, OR, NOT) to define a subset of the entire data population.

- The **AND** operator is the overlap of the two data universes.
- The **OR** operator is both the non-overlap and overlap of the two data universes.
- The **NOT** operator is the non-overlap of the first data universe.

The following figure illustrates these operators:

After a Selective Set has been created, the inactive Selective Set is represented in the Selective Set Module Navigation with the ![](https://cdn.us.document360.io/3e21d801-ca9f-4c51-93db-9cbd32741f3d/Images/Documentation/selective-set-module-image-c7fspgg9.png) icon. When a Selective Set is active the Selective Set is highlighted in the Selective Set Module Navigation. Once the Selective Set is created it can be used for reports and export purposes.
