This page enables you to find groups of similar CIs in your environment.

To access Select Analysis > Segmentation Analysis.
Important information

The Segmentation Analysis page includes the following panes:

  • Analysis Scope

  • Segments List and Results (in chart format)

  • Configuration Model

Select the composite CIs from which to create segments in the Analysis Scope pane. When you are finished, click Analyze Segments.

The results are not updated dynamically in response to changes. Every time you make a change to the analysis scope or to the parameters described below, you need to click Analyze Segments again to re-create the groups.

Create New Model. Clears all selected values and segments.
Parameters. Opens the Segmentation Parameters dialog box. For details, see Explore Views Page.
Analyze Segments. Creates segments based on the selected CIs.

Analysis Scope Pane

Important information In this pane, you select the composite CIs to be used for creating the segments.
See also CI Details Dialog Box

User interface elements are described below:

UI Elements (A-Z) Description
Add composite CIs. Opens the CI Details Dialog box, which enables you to select composite CIs to add to the Analysis Scope.
Remove composite CI from list. Deletes the selected composite CI from the Analysis Scope.
Remove all composite CIs. Deletes all managed CIs from the Analysis Scope.
Show CI details. Opens the CI Details dialog box and displays the details of the selected CI.
<Composite CI Name> The names of the composite CIs in the Analysis Scope.
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.

Configuration Model Pane

Important information This pane displays the configuration model generated for the selected segment. Select a CI in the model to see the attributes defined for it. The attributes that are greyed out are not selected for the model.

User interface elements are described below:

Attribute Name The names of the attributes of the selected CI type.
Attribute Value The values of the attributes of the selected CI type.
CI Type The selected CI types.
Operator The required relationship between the attribute in the model and the attribute in the compared CI. For details, see Attribute Operators.

Segments List Pane

Important information After the segments are created, this pane displays a list of the segments that were created.

User interface elements are described below:

UI Elements (A-Z) Description
View Baseline Analysis for selected segments. Navigates to the Baseline Analysis page, where you can edit the model and save it.
Average Similarity The average percentage of similarity between the CIs in the segment and the segment's configuration model.
Number of CIs The number of CIs in each segment.
Operator column The attribute that defines the relationship between the attribute and its value. For details, see Attribute Operators.

Segments Results Pane

Important information After the segments are created, this pane displays a pie chart showing the groups of CIs that were created, based on the selected segment size.
