After you have run your crawl and your segments have been successfully generated, you can navigate back to “Reports” to view. You will initially be taken to reports that display the following data:

• Top segments in a report
• Trend graph 

You can then select a specific segment by clicking the ‘All URLs’ option and choosing the segment you’d like to view. Once selected, the report will refresh showing you data only for that specific segment, based on the rules specified on creation.

The applied segment is also persistent, which means you can navigate to another report and the segment will still be applied. To remove the segmentation, just go back to the selector and choose another segment, or ‘All URLs’.

If the segment has been generated in past crawls then it will even persist when you switch to an unarchived historic crawl:

You can also apply additional filters on top of your segments:

Graphs

Top Segments Graph

The Top Segments graph displays the top 5 segments that have the most URLs in a report. It can be used to quickly highlight problem areas of a website in any report.

The data points are clickable so you can simply click on any segment in the graph and it will take you to that segment in the report.

Segment Report Graph

The segment report chart compares the currently selected segment URLs against all other URLs in this report. It allows you to see how big the URLs are within the context of the whole report.

If you have only created a handful of segments and these segments are quite small in the context of the rest of the pages in a report, then it indicates that more segments need to be created.

Trend Chart

The trend chart maps out the data trends over historical crawls for any segment report. It can help you track improvements or issues for particular areas of the website, by spotting spikes or negative overall trends.

Exporting segment data

When a segment is applied, the data can be exported into a CSV file or XML sitemap. Simply click on ‘Export’ and choose to generate CSV or XML Sitemap. The file will then be downloaded to your browser.
