- To target a specific group, select one or more segments
Users included in any selected segment will receive the survey. Note that these users may also belong to other segments (e.g., gender or department), meaning results may appear in those segment reports as well.
Exclude data from segments (optional)
If you do not want survey data to appear in certain segment reports:
- Use Exclude data from segments to remove specific segments
