Adding and Editing Audience Rules

Audience rules use simple queries to include or exclude users from membership in an audience. Each rule includes an operand, operator, and value.

The operand is the user or property you want to include in the query for this rule. The operator indicates how users compared to the value should be queried to include or exclude them from the audience. The value is the point of comparison used by the query.

 Note   If you select the Member of operator, only users in the group that have a corresponding user profile will be included in the audience.
