Deleting, Recreating, and Reassigning Data Segments

When you create segments in an application where locations already exist, only newly created locations will be assigned to the new data segments. Existing locations are not reassigned. Reassigning data segments prompts FDM to reallocate (recreate) all locations.

Reports are run from a view that combines all data segments in an application. An excessive number of data segments can slow down performance when running reports. Thus, you may wish to delete unnecessary data segments to improve performance.

Note:

When you delete, recreate, or reassign data segments, all data associated with existing locations (including maps) is deleted

  To delete, re-create, and reassign data segments:

  1. From Workbench, select Tools > Manage Data Segments > Delete, Recreate, or Reassign All Segments.

    The Recreate Segments dialog box is displayed.

  2. From Segments, select the total number of segments you want in the application.

  3. Click Save and Close.
