Define Key Segments

In the Key Segments tab of Engagement SetupResults Setup, you can enable or disable system key segments, which you can use to view survey results broken down by those segments.

You can configure whether a system key segment is displayed on surveys in Dayforce by selecting or clearing the Active checkbox on the key segment.

Note: Only one key segment per type can be active at any time.

Key segments are displayed in the Key Segment drop-down list in the Analysis tab of survey results displayed in the Engagement feature. See Review the Survey Analysis.

Important: The key segments that are active at the time you publish a survey will be used in that survey. You cannot change the configuration of the key segments for a survey once the survey has been published. Any changes will apply to future surveys.

To add a custom key segment:

  1. Go to the Key Segments tab in Engagement SetupResults Setup.
  2. Click Add.
  3. In the Name field, enter a name for the key segment.
  4. Dayforce generates the comparison code that identifies the key segment in the Comparison Code field.
  5. Important: This field is automatically generated and cannot be edited until you save the key segment. When you are editing a key segment, the Comparison Code field isn’t automatically updated if you change the Name field. The value in this field must be unique.
  6. Select the type of key segment in the Type field. The type of key segment determines the settings displayed in the Criteria section below.
  7. Note: Only one key segment per type can be active at any time.
  8. Select the Active checkbox to make the key segment visible in the drop-down list in Engagement > Analysis for future surveys.
  9. To remove the key segment from the drop-down list, clear the checkbox.
  10. Click Save.

You can localize key segments, if necessary. See Localize Key Segments.
