Hi EveryOne!!

Can I target by adding a custom entity to a related entity in a Dynamics 365 Marketing segment?

I want to use a custom entity associated with a contact in the segment menu.
Even if I create a custom entity, it is not available under Related Entities in the segment menu.

I tried to add it via the Configure datasets menu in Settings, but I couldn't add it.
Is there a way to add a custom entity to a segment?

Please!!

Thank you!

    Hi,

    You can only sync entities that are configured with Change tracking enabled. Entities without change tacking won't be listed on the Dataset configuration page. If you are a system customizer or admin, you can find this setting by doing the following:

    1. Open the Settings menu pastedimage1652689548109v1.png at the top of the page and select Advanced settings. The advanced-settings area then opens in a new browser tab. Note that this area uses a horizontal navigator at the top of the page instead of a side navigator.
    2. Navigate to Settings > Customization > Customization.
    3. Select Customize the system (or select Solutions and open a solution if your entity is part of a solution).
    4. Find and select the entity you want to sync.
    5. On the General tab for the entity, select the Change tracking check box.
    6. Save and publish the change.
