Analyzing Large Groups of Specific Users

I need to analyze the behavior of a specific set of unique visitors. To do this, I need to narrow my analysis to 2,500 unique visitor IDs. My only thought is to create 5 sets of segments, using the 'Equals any of' operator with the visitor ID values, and export the data from Data Warehouse. Is there a better way to approach this (outside of using clickstream data from a data feed)?

With that many users, I would be tempted to use a classification...

 

Basically set up a "classification" that will hold one value, something like "true" or maybe "include". Then use the classification importer with those specific ids to set the value.... 

 

Basically, then you would only have to create a segment for "classification equals true" or  "classification equals include"

 

Its sort of a cheat, and using classifications in a non-standard way, but it's a lot easier than trying to create a segment with that many operators (particularly since the equals any of is a bit of a pain to work with when dealing with a lot of values. Also, I think there are limitations to have much you can add)

    @jennifer_dungan This is a great idea, and I didn't consider using classifications. One concern that I have is that a lot of IDs fall into 'Unspecified' because there's so many. If they're in a classification, would they all show up properly in analysis workspace?

      They show up as "unspecified" or in the "(Low Traffic)" bucket? Unspecified means the value isn't set (this should never occur due to there being "so many"), low traffic on the other hand just means the reporting suite has hit the unique value threshold for the month (I think that classification would bypass that, since it's processing the data on the server, it's not trying to render it.... but I've never tried on a low threshold value before)

       

      Anyway, it should be a fairly quick implementation, and if it doesn't work then we might be back to square one... but if we're talking about "low traffic" then the segment definitely won't work....
