Compiling Audiences

Changes made to audiences and audience rules are not reflected in audience membership until the audience is compiled.

When you compile an audience, the property values in user profiles and membership in distribution lists, security groups, and reporting structure are checked to see if they match the audience rules you have created. Users that match the audience rules for an audience are included in that audience and receive content targeted to that audience.

You can set a compilation schedule so that audiences are compiled automatically at regular intervals. You can also start a compilation at any other time if you must update an audience before the next scheduled compilation.

From the Manage Audiences page, you can start a compilation and set a compilation schedule. You can also view the compilation status and most recent compilation time, and see the number of uncompiled audiences.

On the Manage Audiences page, click Start compilation.
All of the audiences are compiled automatically. The compilation status is displayed on the Manage Audiences page.

On the Manage Audiences page, click Specify compilation schedule.
On the Specify Compilation Schedule page, click Enable scheduling to turn on audience scheduling.
Select a start time from the Start at drop-down list.
To schedule compilations at this time every day, select Every day.
To schedule compilations on certain days of the week, select Every week on, and then select the days you want to compile audiences.
To schedule compilations once a month, select Every month on this date, and then select the day of the month on which to compile audiences.
Click OK.
