Configure Part of Audience to import audience conditions in Segment
In Segment, when building an audience based on audience membership, you can use existing audiences as criteria for creating new audiences. You can include or exclude profiles based on their membership in other audiences, allowing you to generate more specific audience segments. You can configure your conditions with:
Import audience conditions: This copies the conditions from the referenced audience and generates a combined SQL query. The audience runs independently, even if you disable the original audience or update it later. Use this option when you need the freshest compute result, since this eliminates the Profile Sync delay (about 1 hour).
Use audience membership traits: This references the original audience membership traits, so it may take extra time to update if that audience needs to recompute. Use this option if the base audience membership doesn’t need to be recomputed every time, in order to save on compute costs.
