Generate Target Group Layer (Business Analyst Tools)

Summary

Generates a layer that identifies geographies that contain selected segments and categorized groups based on targets.

Usage

If the Boundary Layer parameter is not specified, the Extent environment will be used.
Targets are a subclassification of a Target Group parameter value, for example, Core and Development targets. A target can contain one or more segments.

Label	Explanation	Data type
Geography Level	The geography level that will be used to define the target layer.	String
Segmentation Base	The segmentation base for the profile being created. The available options are provided by the segmentation dataset in use.	String
Output Feature Class	The output feature class for the target layer.	Feature Class
Target Group	A user-created group of targets. This is used if the dataset supports target groups.	File
Boundary Layer (Optional)	The boundary that will determine the layer extent.	Feature Layer

arcpy.ba.GenerateTargetGroupLayer(geography_level, segmentation_base, out_feature_class, target_group, {boundary_layer})
