download segment definition

It would be nice to have the ability to download all segment definitions into csv file, just like dowloading of report suite information into csv file.  I want to be able to document them offline.

@wolocd01 : The method you want is documented here: 

https://marketing.adobe.com/developer/en_US/documentation/segments-1-4/r-get-1. Just make sure to add "definition" as a field when you request the segment(s). Not ideal, but hopefully it's a start!

@wolocd01 Let me see if I can track down the documentation. It is on https://marketing.adobe.com/developer/en_US somewhere.

@CiscoWebex Sorry, definitely not suggesting that average users need to become proficient with the API. Just offering a possible workaround at a company level in the short term, meaning that my intent was that someone with a modest technical aptitude could download the segment definitions every so often. If that's not possible, then I'm afraid in the short-term I don't have a good answer. All I can do is try. 

 

We definitely can make it simpler for users. The question, as always, is priority. There are a LOT of things we want to do to make analytics easier. This is one of them.

I know api can do it, so are you saying users will need to learn things like rest, json, soap and programming language in order to download segment definition?



This is a perfectly legitimate request from a lot of users, why can't we make it simpler for users?

@wolocd01 , for whatever it's worth, you should be able to import and export segment definitions currently using the Adobe Analytics API.

It would be great also to have possibility of complete import/export of segments
