Migrating User Segments

A user segment represents a subset of users with a common set of properties. Segmentation in Liferay 7.2+ works similarly to Audience Targeting in previous Liferay DXP versions. In Audience Targeting, you create rules that users must match in order to belong to a user segment. In Segmentation, you create conditions that can be combined in different ways to define complex filters. For more information on how to create user Segments, see Creating and Managing User Segments.

Upgrade Paths for Audience Targeting Rules

Due to the similarities between Audience Targeting user segments and Liferay DXP 7.2+ Segments, most of your configuration is automatically transferred into Liferay Segmentation during the upgrade. The following table shows the upgrade path for Audience Targeting rules when migrating to Liferay Segments conditions:
