Adobe Analytics and Google Analytics Segments

The Adobe Analytics and Google Analytics data connectors allow you to import segments from Adobe Analytics and Google Analytics to use like any other segments in DXA. You can filter sessions, heatmaps, and forms using segments that you have already created.
