Specifies the segment value which you are defining a Pricing for using this call:
- For each segment value defined on a Segmented Aggregation you must create a separate Pricing and use the appropriate aggregationId parameter for the call.
- If you specify a segment value that has not been defined for the Aggregation, you'll receive an error.
- If you've defined segment values for the Aggregation using a single wildcard or multiple wildcards, you can create Pricing for these wildcard segment values also.
