A segment can be applied to a template during template creation. Simply drag the selected segment to the designated area ("Drag a segment").
Tip: Segments are applied to the entire template. The segments listed are those that have been created with the Segments application.
Segments are automatically applied to the entire data set.
For example:
- If you apply a segment such as "Country = UK" for your dataset, all metrics displayed will only reflect performance in the UK.
-If you apply a segment to only one metric in your dataset, you can create a custom metric based on a segment. In our example, we can segment the "Visits" metric on the "UK" country. Once this segmented metric is in your Data Query template, you will be able to separate out the UK visits and then compare them to metrics that reflect other countries.
