Article Summary

Segments are used to organise users and data within your institution.

Setting up segments allows you to:

  • Track engagement across groups
  • Control what data leaders can access
  • Target surveys to specific groups
  • Create segment-specific question bank content

To create segments:

  • Go to the Segments menu under Manage settings
  • Create a category to group related segments
  • Add segments within that category

Each segment represents a group (e.g. campus, department, course) used across reporting and access control.

Manage segments

Managing segments is an important part of managing your institution’s StudentSense platform. Setting up the right segments allows you to:

  • Capture accurate engagement from teachers and students from a segment.
  • Control what responses leaders can view and filter by based on the segments they are assigned.
  • Create and distribute segment-targeted surveys.
  • Allow you to define question bank questions which are specific to educators in these segments.
