Creating user segments from Custom Dimensions Now that you have created a Custom Dimension and added data via the API or via the CSV upload in the dashboard, you can now create a user segment to target users who match these Custom Dimension values. 1. Log in to https://login.upsight.com. Go to the Marketing tab. 2. Select the game you'd like to create a User Segment for 3. Click "Game Settings" 4. Click "User Segments" 5. Click "Add Segment" 6. Name your segment and give it a description In the definition section, you can create a combination of Custom and standard dimensions. As an example, let's say you have created a Custom Dimension called acquisition_channel, which represents what channel users were acquired from. You'd like to create a User Segment that identifies users who was acquired from Facebook and have purchased over $5 from you. In the definition section, select all from the drop-down next to "of the following rules are met", and from the rule box select "amount spent", "is greater than", "1" USD. Next click the "+" below it and add a second rule of "custom - acquisition_channel", "is", and "facebook". This will match users who have the Custom Dimension acquisition_channel value of "facebook" and have spent over $5.
Notes and Tips Limits: Custom Dimensions are allocated to Pro and Enterprise customers. To add Custom Dimensions to your account, please contact your CSM or support@upsight.com. Important: Once you have added a custom dimension, you cannot edit the definition. So please be careful! Once you have added data to your custom dimension, you cannot make changes to it. Tip: Custom Dimensions can be used in conjunction with standard Upsight Segmentation dimensions such as amount spent, last session date, language, or country to create laser-targeted slices of your user-base. Tip 2: If you plan on using a newly created Custom Dimensions to send a Push Notification, it will take 20 minutes for our Push system to add that list to the system. Please allow yourself that time before sending a Push note.
