Segments

With Cloudera Data Visualization, you can create and manage segments within your data.

Segments can be used to analyze subsets of the data that have specified properties. Normally, segments are defined by filtering data based on dimensions or measures. Discovering trends within segments and making comparisons across segments provides powerful insights into the data and the business it represents.

To create and manage segments in the Dataset Segments user interface, see the following topics:

  • Creating Segments
  • Cloning Segments
  • Editing Segments
  • Creating Entity Segments
  • Deleting Segments

You can also segments from filter definitions in a visual. See, Creating segments from filters

To view how segments work in a visual, see Using segments in visuals.

To see how you can use natural segments to restrict data access through filter association, see Setting segments .
