Generate Target Penetration Layer (Business Analyst Tools)

Summary

Generates a layer based on the percent of penetration of selected segments, providing a detailed view of the concentrations of the target segments.

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 Input Type	Specifies the target input type. Use Target Group—A target group will be used as the input type. Select Segments—Selected segments will be used as the input type. One or more segments can compose a target. This is the default.	String
Target Group (Optional)	A user-created group of targets. This parameter is used when the dataset supports target groups.	File
Target (Optional)	A target from the Target Group parameter value.	String
Segments (Optional)	The segments from the provided dataset.	String
Boundary Layer (Optional)	The boundary that will determine the extent of the analysis.	Feature Layer

arcpy.ba.GenerateTargetPenetrationLayer(geography_level, segmentation_base, out_feature_class, input_type, {target_group}, {target}, {segments}, {boundary_layer})

Name	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
out_feature_class	The output feature class for the target layer.	Feature Class
input_type	Specifies the target input type. `USE_TARGET_GROUP`—A target group will be used as the input type. `SELECT_SEGMENTS`—Selected segments will be used as the input type. One or more segments can compose a target. This is the default.	String
target_group (Optional)	A user-created group of targets. This parameter is used when the dataset supports target groups.	File
target (Optional)	A target from the `target_group` parameter value.	String
segments [segments,...] (Optional)	The segments from the provided dataset.	String
boundary_layer (Optional)	The boundary that will determine the extent of the analysis.	Feature Layer
