Segments

Overview

A Cube is needed to create segments. By choosing dimensions and measures on your cube, segments can be created. Dimensions are used to bucket or group the measures for e.g. by country, city, and region. There can be multiple dimensions in a cube, say for example, like total sales by a country, top 10 users by sum of sales, etc. Here total sales is a measure, country is a dimension. By choosing country as dimension we can see the total sales by a country. In this way, we can create multiple segments. Basically segment is a report that gives deep analysis on particular dimension.

The page lists all the segments that have been created by you and other team members.

• My Segments tab Lists all segments owned by you.

• Shared with me tab Lists all the segments (identified by the owner field).
