Cloning Segments

Arcadia Enterprise lets you clone an existing segment definition.

Follow these steps to create a new data segment by cloning an existing one:

  1. On the main navigation bar, click Data.

  2. Select Flight Delays dataset.

  3. Dataset side navigation appears, open at Dataset Detail view.

  4. In the side navigation menu, click Segments.

  5. In the Segments list, find the segment to clone, and click Clone.

    In this example, we are cloning Delayed Flights to create a new segment On-Time Departure.
