Segment refers to a logically divided part of the whole object based on specific requirement. Metadata Segment Mapping facilitates you to map/unmap the required business metadata definitions such as measures, hierarchies, cubes, and attributes to the selected segment within a specific Information Domain. Based on the mapping, users mapped to the segment are restricted to access only the relevant metadata to view and edit during metadata maintenance and information security.
To access Metadata Segment Mapping window, select the Object Administration tab and expand Object Security from the LHS menu and select Metadata Segment Mapping.
You (System Administrator) need to have SYSADM function role mapped to your role to access Metadata Segment Mapping window. By default this window displays the Information Domain Name to which you are connected along with the metadata details of Measure.
You can map/unmap the required business metadata definitions to a segment available within the selected Information Domain. To map the required metadata definitions, do the following:
1. Select the required User Segment from the drop-down list.
2. Select the required metadata definition as Measure, Hierarchy, Cube, or Attribute. The defined metadata are listed in the Available Metadata pane.
3. Map/Unmap the required metadata by doing the following:
§ To map a metadata, select the metadata from the Available Metadata list and click 
button. The metadata is added to the Selected Metadata pane. You can press Ctrl key for multiple selections.
§ To map all the listed metadata definitions, click 
button.
§ To remove a metadata mapping, select the metadata from the Selected Metadata list and click 
button.
§ To remove the entire metadata mapping, click 
button.
4. Click Save to save the metadata mapping details. The window is refreshed displaying the mapping results.
5. Click Show Details to view the results in detail.
You can modify the mapping at any point and the mapping table is updated only on saving the mapping details. When a metadata definition such as measures, hierarchies, cubes, and attributes are removed from the Information Domain, the same is updated in the mappings table.
