{Customer Insights} Get faster insights at scale with auto-management of segments measures

Hello Everyone,





Today I am going to share my thoughts on Customer Insights get faster insights at scale with auto-management of segments, measures.










Let's get's started.




As your Dynamics 365 Customer Insights footprint grows, managing segments and measures becomes increasingly important. The sheer number of segments can impact system performance leading to longer refresh times for the entire environment. But fear not! Customer Insights now offers an intelligent solution: Automatic segment management.








Here's how it works:


1. Automatic Deactivtion:


When you have  a large number of segments and measures, it's challenging to determine which ones are actively used and which are not.



The system now automatically deactivates segments or measures that haven't been used after a specified retention period.


By doing so, it reallocates compute resources to the active segments and measures, resulting in faster system refresh and quicker insights.




2. Admin Control:


As an admin, you can enable or disable this automatic management feature.

Set the retention period that suits your organization's needs.

If necessary, users can reactivate segments or measures.



This enhancement ensures that you can scale confidently, maintain optimal performance and swiftly gain valuable insights.








That's it for today.


I hope this helps.
