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})
ParameterExplanationData 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.
