Usage
Input tables must be in a format that can be opened in ArcGIS.
The Import Table must contain summarized counts for each segment. The table should only have one record for each segmentation code.
If the Import Table contains multiple records for each segmentation code, you should use the Create Profile From Segmentation Coded Table tool.
Syntax
CreateProfileByImportFromTable_ba (Dataset, InputClusterCodeFieldName, InputCustomerCountFieldName, ProfileFolder, {InputVolumeInfoFieldName}, {InputProfileComments})| Parameter | Explanation | Data Type |
Dataset | Table containing segmentation codes and attributes. | Table View |
InputClusterCodeFieldName | Field in the input table that contains the segmentation codes. | Field |
InputCustomerCountFieldName | Field in the input table that contains the count of records for each segment. For example, this could be the number of customers in each segment. | Field |
ProfileFolder | The output profile is created in this folder. The folder name corresponds to the name of the profile used in Business Analyst.
