Managing audiences

The Audiences page provides you with access to all your audiences, which allows you to view a specific audience and edit it.

View an audience

To view an audience:

1. On the Audiences page, click the audience to view.
2. Click X to exit the audience view.

An audience’s view is the administration page where you can:

• view and manage the audience in the left-hand details panel, and
• under the relevant tabs on the right-hand side, view:
  • an Overview of the audience,
  • audience Members,
  • audience Demographics,
  • Campaigns the audience is part of, and
  • Activities associated with audience members.

Edit the audience

In the details panel, you can rename the audience. To do so, hover over the name and click the pencil icon, then type the new name and click on a blank area of the page to save the name.

Click New campaign to create a new campaign for the audience.

Click Archive to archive the audience. Once an audience is archived, it can be restored or deleted. To delete an audience:

1. Archive the audience in the audience’s view or on the Audiences page via the  more icon, then Archive.
2. On the Audiences page, click All > Archived.
3. To the right of the audience name, click the … more icon, then Delete.

Audience entry and exit criteria

People enter when and People exit when display the conditions by which people become members of the audience (or leave it). Edit the conditions to change the audience membership criteria.

EX: Let’s say you have an audience called Active Users, which tracks people who created an account in your app.

Entry criteria: Signed up has occurred.

If the exit criteria is left to the default option (They no longer meet the entry criteria), users who cancel the account remain in the audience since they still match the original entry criteria (i.e., they signed up).

To automatically remove users from this audience after they cancel, simply add an exit condition: Account canceled has occurred.

By doing this, you'll ensure that your audience includes only users who still have an active account in your app.



Customers on selected Ortto plans are able to edit the audience criteria to use data that is more than 90 days old. These are referred to as retention audiences.

To edit your audience to become a retention audience:

1. Under People enter when and/or People exit when, click Edit.
2. If necessary, modify the filter conditions to include an activity and attribute more than 90 days old.
3. Select Use all available activity data, then Save.



Learn more about retention audiences under Retention audiences in Creating a new audience.
