Reference: Segment Configuration Options

Option	Use Case	Considerations
Name	Renaming an existing segment is useful when a team changes name.	The new segment name will become visible to everyone immediately. The survey data remains unaffected if you rename the segment before the next data upload. If you don’t rename the segment before a data upload, Peakon creates a new segment without historical data.
Name localization	It’s possible to add translations manually for segments in all dashboard languages. Managers viewing their dashboard in a specific language will see a localized version of the segment names.	You need to import employee data in the default language, not in the translated language. Uploading employee data in the translated language will create new segments. Name localization is only possible for option type segments. You can add translations in the settings of the segment manually. It isn’t possible to add translations through data uploads.
Segment scores	Restricting segment scores controls whether an attribute is available to view on the heat map. Example: the Human Resources team has company-level access, but shouldn't be able to segment results of their own team. You can restrict the Human Resources segment in the Department attribute, without affecting other Department segments.	Users who don’t have access to view restricted attributes are still able to view a segment from a restricted attribute if: They’re the manager of that segment on Peakon. The segment is a child segment of a segment that they’re the manager of.
Segment logo	When using segment branding, you can upload the segment logo. Employees of this segment will have this logo on the survey and in survey-related emails.	You can use this setting with survey branding.
