Prospect Segment | A segment that consists of people from Zeta Data Cloud |
Tracked | A term typically used in conjunction with any Segment indicating that the segment is being tracked for membership changes. Such segments generate a ‘Segment Entry’ event when a person enters and a ‘Segment Exit’ event when a person exits the segment. |
