| Label | 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 |
Output
Feature Class | The output feature class for the target layer. | Feature Class |
Target Group
| A user-created group of targets. This is used if the dataset supports target groups. | File |
Boundary Layer
(Optional) | The boundary that determines the layer extent. | Feature Layer |
Available with Business Analyst license.
Summary
Generates a layer that identifies geographies that contain selected segments and categorized groups based on targets.
Usage
-
If Boundary Layer is not specified, the Extent geoprocessing environment setting 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.
Parameters
