Usage
The Input Table must be in a format that can be opened in ArcGIS.
If the input table contains summarized counts for each segmentation code, use the Create Profile By Import From Table tool.
Optional Volume attributes are aggregated for each unique segmentation code.
Syntax
CreateSegProfileFromClusterCodedTable_ba (Dataset, ClusterCodeFieldName, ProfileFolder, {InputVolumeInfoFieldName}, {InputProfileComments})| Parameter | Explanation | Data Type |
Dataset | The table containing the segmentation codes. | Table View |
ClusterCodeFieldName | The field in the input table that contains the segmentation codes. | Field |
ProfileFolder | The folder where the output profile will be created. The folder name corresponds to the name of the profile used in Business Analyst. For example, a profile created in the folder C:\My Output Data\Projects\Default Project\Segmentation\Profiles\NewProfile would be referred to as NewProfile in Business Analyst. | Folder |
InputVolumeInfoFieldName (Optional) | The field from the Input Table containing volume information with which the profile can optionally be created. For example, you can create a profile using sales for each customer. | Field |
InputProfileComments (Optional) | Optional comments for profile. These comments can include information such as author, source, date, and vintage. | String |
