Summary
Creates a layer that identifies geographies that contain selected segments and geographies that do not contain selected segments.
Usage
-
If Boundary Layer is not specified, the Extent environment will be used.
Targets are a subclassification of a Target Group, for example, Core and Development targets. A target can contain one or more Segments.
Syntax
arcpy.ba.GenerateTargetLayer(geography_level, segmentation_base, out_feature_class, input_type, {target_group}, {target}, {segments}, {boundary_layer})| Parameter | Explanation | Data Type |
geography_level | The geography level that will be used to define the target layer. | String |
segmentation_base | The segmentation base for the profile being created. Available options are provided by the segmentation dataset in use. | String |
out_feature_class | The output feature class for the target layer. | Feature Class |
input_type | Specifies whether target groups or segments will be used.
| String |
target_group (Optional) | The target group, if the dataset supports target groups. | File |
target (Optional) | A target from the selected target_group. | String |
segments [segments,...] (Optional) | Segments from the provided dataset. | String |
boundary_layer (Optional) | The boundary that determines the layer extent. | Feature Layer |
