By default, visitors will match a segment based on the first event where they meet the condition. However, you may wish for a visitor to have matched the condition for a specific number of events, consecutively, before they do match. The advanced segment setting of Minimum Threshold allows you to set this number of events.
For example;
You may want to create a segment of users who are in the Struggling state, to target with an experience of a discount code.
However, some visitors may only be Struggling for one or two events, and then may move back into focus. To ensure the discount code isn't given to these visitors, you could add in a minimum threshold of 3 events, for example
By adding in a minimum threshold, you have greater control on the size of your segment (which you'll be able to see in the Audience Estimator), and who will receive your experience.
