Note

  • All segments you’ve built in Connect will be grouped under the “built-segments-icon-01.png Built Segments” system folder. For information on building a segment, see "Build a Segment".

  • If you were previously using an earlier version of Connect, the asset management model in Connect 2.0 is somewhat different. For more information, see "What's Different in Connect With Asset Management 2.0".

To access the Segments page, select Data Management → Segments from the navigation pane.

Search for and Filter Segments

You can search for segments in the following ways:

  • Full name: Enter the full name of the segment. The search ignores underscores (_).

  • Partial name: Enter parts of the segment's name. You do not have to enter words in the exact sequence.

  • Asterisks (*): Use asterisks (*) to replace parts of the segment's name. For example, you can type "*male" if you are looking for assets whose names end with "male".

If multiple segments match your search, they will be listed based on relevance.

If you added tags to your segments, you can use the Tags filter to filter the Segments table by those tags.

You can use the Filter Segments drop-down to filter the Segments table by:

  • Activation Fees

  • Ownership

  • Segment Status

  • Date Created

  • Date Modified

  • Owned By

  • Audience Dataset

  • red-icon-04.png Creation Failed: An error occurred while creating the segment:
[error description from Ingestion]

  • yellow-icon-04.png Invalid:

    • For deleted data: The segment is invalid because the data used to create it is no longer available. Any activated segments built from this data will no longer deliver to destinations.

Actions You Can Perform From the Segments Page

You can perform a number of actions from the Segments page:

  • Build a segment: You can build a segment from the table attributes, tables, and segments in your account by constructing a series of filter rules, using individual filters and filter groups. Click Build Segment and follow the instructions in “Build a Segment”.

  • View side panel details: Click a segment row on the Segments page to open the segment side panel, where you can view information about the segment, including segment details, permissions, and activity history. For more information, see "View Segment Details".

  • Open full details page: Double-click on a segment row to open the full details page, where you can view segment details, segment rules, overlap, permissions, and activity history. For more information, see “View Segment Details”.

  • Manage segment tags: You can add custom tags to the segment by selecting the More Options menu (more-options-icon.png) of the desired segment row and clicking Add or Remove Tags. These tags can be used for searching, sorting, or filtering the segments available to you.

  • Overlap data assets: You can overlap first-party dataset assets with other first-party dataset assets. For second-party dataset assets originating from a clean room, you can only overlap other assets within that dataset. Check the check boxes for the assets to overlap and then click Overlap Data . For more information, see "Overlap Data Assets".

  • Delete a field: You can delete a field and its associated segments by selecting the More Options menu (more-options-icon.png) of the desired field row and clicking Delete.
