Quick segments

Quick segments allow you to explore data within a Workspace project quickly, without the need to create a segment in the Segment Builder.

See VideoCheckedOut for a demo video.

When you want to use quick segments, please note that:

  • Quick segments are created directly in a Workspace project. As a result, a quick segment applies only to the Workspace project in which you create the quick segment. The quick segments in your Workspace project are not available in other projects and cannot be shared to other users.
  • You can only specify three conditions as part of a quick segment.
  • Quick segments do not support nested containers or sequential conditions.
  • You can edit quick segments within a shared Workspace project. So, other users can edit the quick segments in a Workspace project you have shared with these users.

Create

Quick segments apply to panels. You can create one or more quick segments for every panel in your Workspace project. Any user in Analysis Workspace can create quick segments.

To create a quick segment:

  • Select SegmentAdd at the top of the panel.
    Then, directly edit the segment in the Quick segment builder.
  • Drag a component from the component panel to the segment drop zone in the panel header. Once dropped, hover over the segment and select Edit to edit the segment in the Quick segment builder.

When you create a quick segment using drag and drop, note that:

  • Not all component types are supported. Calculated metrics are not supported, and only dimensions and metrics from which you can build segments are supported.
  • For dimensions and metrics components, the Quick segment builder creates automatically an exists conditions. For example, if you drag and drop City, the condition City exists is created.
  • For dimension values, the Quick segment builder automatically creates an equals condition. For example, if you drag and drop amsterdam from the City dimension, the condition City equals amsterdam is created.
  • If you drag and drop unspecified or none, the Quick segment builder automatically creates a does not exist condition.

Quick segments you create appear at the top of the panel. Quick segments do have a light blue thin left bar. When a quick segment is in edit mode using the Quick segment builder, the background of the Quick segment is light blue.

The results of the quick segments you create in a panel are applied (using AND logic) to all the visualizations that are part of the panel.

Manage

To manage a quick segment, hover over the specific Quick segment.

  • Select Edit to open the Quick segment builder and edit the quick segment.
  • Select InfoOutline to open a popup. The popup displays information about the segment. You can select Make available to all projects and add to your component list To add the segment to the Segment Segments component list in the component panel. You see a Save quick segment dialog, prompting you to specify a name for the segment. Select Save to continue. Your Quick segment turns into a Segment. You cannot edit the segment any more using the Quick segment builder. Instead, you have to edit the segment as a regular segment, using the Segment builder.

Quick segment builder

See below for an example of the Quick segment builder. In the example, the builder is opened for a quick segment titled Call Reason = Order Change AND Online Orders is greater than or equal 1. Both quick segments at the top do apply to the Average Order Value Dashboard panel and all visualizations within, such as the Average Order Value Per Country freeform table.

Quick segment builder

The quick segment builder consists of the following areas and buttons.

Header area

The header area determines the name, type and scope of the quick segment. It also displays a visual for the results of the quick segment.

Element
Description
Name
The name is automatically derived from the quick segment definition.
People
CheckmarkCircle Alert
Preview visual of the data resulting from the quick segment. A bar and percentage provide insight in how much of the overall data is part of the result of the quick segment. A red Alert signals that the quick segment does not return data.
Include
Exclude
Select from the dropdown ChevronDown whether you want to include or exclude the results of the quick segment from the data in the panel.
Event

component
The component field for the condition. You can Type to add a component, select a component from the list, or you can drag and drop a component from the component panel. You can only drop similar components on the component field of the condition. For example, you can only drop a dimension component from the component panel on a dimension condition.
You can also drag and drop to replace an existing component.
Select CrossSize75 to delete the component from the component field.
operator
The operator for the component. See Operators for more information. Only available for dimensions and metrics.
value
The value for the condition. Depending on the operator selected, the value can be selected from a list or you enter a value.
CrossSize75

Buttons

Button

Open builder

You are prompted for confirmation with an Are your sure? dialog. If you select OK, you can no longer modify your segment in the Quick segment builder Your quick segment is renamed to Segment and now has a darker blue thin left bar.
The regular Segment builder opens with the option to Make this segment available to all your projects and add it to your component list.

  • If you select this option and select Apply, the segment is added to the Segment Filters component list in the component panel.
  • If you do not select this option and select Apply, the segment remains a Workspace project-only segment.
Cancel
Select to cancel the creation or edit of a quick segment.

Quick segments versus segments

Quick segments are exactly what they are named. You can create and edit quick segments quickly inline and see the effects immediately in your panel.

Segments do have the following advantages compared to quick segments.

  • Segments can be made available across all your Workspace projects
  • Segments support more complexity using nested and hierarchical containers, and sequences (using sequence segments).
