How to Export All Adobe Analytics Segments with Definitions

Follow this guide to export and download all segments with definitions for all your report suites. When you are done you will have hundreds, maybe even thousands of segments for all your users across your entire Adobe Analytics account. You can then sort, transform, and compare segments using your favorite spreadsheet tool.

See a Sample Segments Export here.

Select Shared if you wish to export only the segments that are shared.
Select All if you want all shared and unshared segments for all users.

Step 7 – Select Report Suites

Select the report suites that you want to download the segments for. Click the blue “+” boxes to add sites to the Selected List.

There is a 20 report suites per request limit, but feel free to repeat the process as many times as you wish. Contact me if you are interested in increasing the limit. I can set up increased limits upon request.
