# Creating a Segment from a Dashboard/Widget

## Introduction

Looking at data can sometimes give us ideas of who and when to target certain players. Sometimes we also want to re-target players from a campaign we've already run. In this article, we'll explain how to create a Segment from a Dashboard or Widget in the Data Studio.&#x20;

## 🛠️ Setup

For this example, we want to target every player that has opened an Email in the last month, we will start by creating a new Dashboard to which we will add the **Email Strict Conversion Funnel** Widget:

{% hint style="info" %}
Copy any [System Dashboard](https://www.fasttrack-solutions.com/en/resources/knowledge-base/insights-and-analytics/dashboards/system-dashboards) or add any System Widget to your Private or Brand Dashboards, to have a base to work off.
{% endhint %}

We will then proceed to '**Edit Widget'** and add a time dimension so that the data displayed is only for the last month:

After returning to the Dashboard view, we can now click on **Emails Opened** to get a list of all users that opened an email in the last 30 days. We can click on the Create Segment icon <img src="https://3654650655-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MGrxN2ttYCb8JwJc2TS%2Fuploads%2FjqeMYOXhBsswP9Sah4PM%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=4d92caed-294c-41ed-b92a-305e1bc39794" alt="" data-size="line"> displayed, give our Segment a name, and click **Create**. From now on, this Segment is now available to select when building an Activity.
