Manage and share your audiences

The Audiences screen lists all your audiences, with tools to find, organise, manage, and share them.

Grid and list view

Use the grid and list view icons in the top right to switch between a grid view and a list view of your audiences.

Note

Orbit remembers your choice the next time you visit the Audiences screen.

Grid view displays each audience as a card. Each card shows its name, record count and table level, such as "279,538 WebVisits". It also shows status such as Shared With Me, creation and last-edited dates, and the creator.

List view shows the same audiences as table rows instead. It adds a Created By column, so you can see who created each audience without opening it.

Search, sort, and filter your audiences

Use the controls in the top right of the Audiences screen to find the audience you want:

  • Search: enter a keyword to filter the list by audience name
  • Sort: select the sort icon to order your audiences by Name, Date Created, or Last Edited, in either Newest First or Oldest First order

    Sort dropdown showing Name, Date Created, and Last Edited options, with Newest First and Oldest First direction options

    Note

    Orbit remembers your last sort order the next time you visit the Audiences screen.

  • Filter: select the filter icon to narrow the list down by shared status, audience type, or creation date. The audience type is the table the audience counts, such as People or Households.

    Status options are All, Shared By Me, Shared With Me, or Not Shared. Select Reset to clear your filters.

Audiences load as you scroll, so you don't need to page through your full list to find what you're looking for.

Select multiple audiences

Select a checkbox on an audience to enter multi-select mode. With multi-select mode active, select any other audience to add it to your selection.

Once you've selected one or more audiences, use the toolbar that appears to:

  • Pin the selected audiences
  • Archive the selected audiences
  • Delete the selected audiences

Use Select All to choose every audience in the current view, or select the close icon to exit multi-select mode.

Manage an audience from the Audiences screen

Select the options menu on an audience to:

  • Pin: keep it near the top of your list, and in the Pinned section of the Orbit homepage
  • Duplicate: create an instant copy of the audience
  • Archive: move it to the Archived tab. People you've shared it with can still see it.
  • Delete: move it to the Deleted tab. It's removed for everyone you've shared it with.

Audience options menu showing Pin, Duplicate, Archive, and Delete

To restore an archived audience, go to the Archived tab, select its options menu, and select Restore.

To restore a deleted audience, go to the Deleted tab, select its options menu, and select Restore.

Audiences you haven't saved yet appear in the Unsaved tab.

Share an audience

Share an audience so your colleagues can see it, and use it in their own work. See Sharing for the steps. On the Audiences screen, a tooltip shows whether an audience is shared, and with how many people.

View or edit access

When you share an audience, you choose whether each person can view it or edit it:

  • View: The audience shows a Read Only label, and they can't change it
  • Edit: They can change the audience. The changes they save apply for everyone who uses it, including you.

Turn off the notification email

When you share an item, Orbit sends an email notification by default. To share without sending one, clear the Send Email Notification tick box in the share dialogue.
