Open a newly create (empty) segmentation
Note that the source segmentation is ratings
Create a first segment named “A” and
give it a default translation of A
select all source segments that match (AAA, AA, A)
Create a second segment named B
Create a third segment named HY
give it a translation en as “High Yield”
select segments C, D, E
Define the rest segment as “Others”, set “Include unmapped segments…”
No ordering or selection needed

Segmentations
Segmentations are used to generate the optimal structure for a visualisation (e.g. table or chart) by defining how data will be aggregated. Segmentations are a part of the reporting business logic (see Business Logic (Concepts Guide)).
This page describes the features of a segmentation. See also Best practices to use Segmentation for a more in depth discussion about how to use segmentations.
Types of segmentations
Type | Description | |
|---|---|---|
Base Segmentation | Base segmentations like currency, country, asset class are typically delivered by the source systems (e.g. a portfolio management system) and are described by a source API
| |
Derived Segmentations | In reporting we typically don’t want to list all currencies invested but a rather more optimised break down to populate a table or chart., e.g. CHF, USD + next 3 largest currencies + a rest segment (aggregating all other currencies). Derived segmentations allow features like grouping, ordering, selection of segments on top of base segmentations or even other derived segmentations.

The Segmentation Editor
To create or modify a derived segmentation, the Segmentation Editor can be used. The UI is organised into the following sections:
