Segmentation currently is.
pageTracker._setVar("uid:username:someprofilefield:anotherprofilefield:");

Under google analytis reports defined fields, I only have one segment to see which is "uid:username:someprofilefield:anotherprofilefield:"

When I should see actual segments for uid, username, each role, and profile field in segments.
So shouldn't the GA module provide,
pageTracker._setVar("uid");
pageTracker._setVar("username");
pageTracker._setVar("someprofilefield");
pageTracker._setVar("anotherprofilefield");

uid and username obviously will show the same hits, but I should be able to see a collective hit/visit for each user role, and/or values of profile fields.

I'm not sure, but i think _setVar can only be set once. Please provide some docs if you know better. For splitting the values you can add filters in your google account.

I don't see why not, its just a function that send data to google, which is what segmentation is for.

Otherwise, the whole segmentation thing is no where near as cool.

Nice link, but i cannot see any example that allows using _setVar() more then once.

You might be right. I am doing some tests. How would one create a filter to split out the segment data for reporting?

Try out. I've never worked with filters yet.

Filters, filter incoming traffic from being processed by GA.

So at the moment, I am still looking for a solution to parse & report group/subgroup data.
Patooey!
