| Segment ID | Displays the name of the segment to which the composite CI was assigned. |
| State |
Select the state of the view from which you are selecting composite CIs. You can select CIs from both the actual and authorized state of any view, but the segmentation is only done in the selected state. If any of your selected CIs do not exist in that state of the view, they appear in faded text and do not participate in the segmentation. |
