Marketers can apply segmentation to heatmaps. This way you can filter data from the captured visitors. The segmentation functionality supports multiple input options at once to filter data. 


Here's how you can filter visitor data:



Segmenting based on Traffic:


Source

Helps to segment the reports of the visitors who directly landed on the test page URL

Medium

You can filter the data collected based on the medium such as Paid, Organic, Email, Social, Direct visitors.

Campaign

You can filter the data based on campaigns and by their UTM parameters

Landing page URL

Segments the data based on the visitors who land first on a specific URL

Referrer URL

Filtering can be done from the page where the user has been referred. 

For example, a visitor might land on your test page via Facebook, Google, and so on



Segmenting based on Technology:

Operating system

From which OS the data is collected eg: Windows, Mac, Linux

Browser

From which browser the data is collected eg: Chrome, Firefox, Safari

Device type

Filtering based on the type of device used by the visitor while accessing the site eg: Mobile, Desktop & Tablet



Segmenting based on Geography:


Location

Segmenting can be done based on visitor’s geographical location eg: UK, US



Advanced Segmenting:


Day of the week

You can filter heat map data from a particular day of the current week

Query parameter

Segmenting can be done based on the value of the Query Parameter in the URL

IP Address

Segmenting can be done based on the IPv4 address of the users


Segmenting based on Custom Attributes:


Custom attribute

You can segment and view the test results with the custom attributes created earlier in project settings



Understanding Match Types:


There are two match types And & OR for conditional segmenting.


AND

Results will be displayed only if all the filter conditions match

OR

Results will be displayed if any one of the filter conditions match



  • You can add more rules with the same match type by clicking the + icon.

  • You can add another group with a different match type by clicking the Add another group button.

    Note: You can delete the conditions created by clicking on the close icon provided
