Create Target Group (Business Analyst)

Available with Business Analyst license.

Summary

Creates a new target group. A target group is a container for targets that you create, name, and populate with segments from a locally installed Business Analyst dataset.

Usage

• The output Target Group parameter contains one or more targets.

• The input Targets parameter is a collection of segments.

• Segment IDs are separated by semicolons when more than one is assigned to a target—for example, 1C; 3A; 9B.

• A target's color is defined by a hexadecimal value. For example, the hex color code for the RGB value of rgb(66, 135, 245) is #4287f5. If a hex code is not entered, the default color scheme will be applied.

• The output of this tool is a new target group (*.sgtargetgroup).
