Use an interactive flowchart in the Edit mode to configure
a Sample process.
Procedure
- In an interactive flowchart in Edit mode,
add a Sample process to the flowchart workspace.
-
Provide input to the Sample process by connecting it to a data manipulation process.
Data manipulation processes include Decision, Sample, or Select. You can connect the Sample
process to an Interaction process also.
- Double-click the Sample process.
-
Select a source cell from the Input drop-down list.
All output cells from any process that is connected to the Sample process are listed in the
drop-down list.
- Determine the number of samples that you want to create
for each of your input cells, and enter that number in the #
of Samples/Output Cells field.
By default,
three samples are created for each input cell, with default names
"Sample1", "Sample2" and "Sample3."
- Select each sample under the Output Name column
and complete the following actions:
The Edit
Output Cell section is enabled.
- Place your cursor in the Cell Name text
box and type to modify the sample name.
You can use
any combination of letters, numbers, and spaces. Do not use any periods
(.) or slashes (/ or \).
- Enter the probability that a visitor is assigned to
the sample in the % field, or select the All
Remaining check box.
The % must be less
than 100.00.
- (Optional) Change the Hash Seed under
the Deterministic Hash Function.
You
must change the Hash Seed only if you want this Sample process to
assign visitors to cells the same way as another Sample process. The
Hash Seed must be an alphanumeric value.
- (Optional) Enter the Date of first reset under
the Deterministic Hash Function.
Click
the ellipsis button for a calendar
to select the date.
- (Optional) Enter the number of days between resets.
- (Optional) Click the General tab
to assign a name and notes to the process.
The name
is displayed on the process in the flowchart. The notes are displayed
when you mouse of the process in a flowchart.
- Click OK.
Results
The process is configured and appears enabled in the flowchart.
You
must connect the Sample process to a PopulateSeg process to complete
creating a smart segment that you use for sampling.
