Segment overview

Segment is your window into your customer data. In this article, we’ll take a tour of Lexer Segment to help you get started.

Functions of Segment

Segment offers a variety of functions:

  • Group your customers into meaningful segments based on any combination of ecommerce, CRM, email, and service attributes.
  • Analyze the aggregated statistics for your segments, and dive deeper for insights.
  • Pivot your data by Attributes, Segments, Profiles, Channels and Sources.

Segment Builder

All great insights start with a question, and that question is created in the Segment Builder.

Using the Attribute Picker, you can create basic and complex customer queries. Simply search for, and select, the attributes you wish to add to your segment. You can also filter your attributes to make your search more specific by hovering over the attribute and clicking the > button.

You also have the ability to add more than one filter to your attribute by typing a word (or phrase) into the search bar and then selecting Add X results.

Once you've finished adding your attributes, your search results are displayed on the right, and are broken into five different reports.

Attributes

Analyze the aggregate attribute values across the customers who match your search. Click on an attribute to dive deeper and export results for custom analysis.
