## Create a Real-time Audience

Edge audiences are designed for real-time personalisation use cases occuring on your website or app.   The open day banner appearing on the home page was controlled by an Audience evaluated on the Edge.  This exercise will show you how to create one.

In the audience builder you have access to all of the profile attributes and events.

2. Search for **web** and drag the **name **attribute into the canvas.  
3. Set the rule to **contains **value **credit-cards**

Add a timeframe for your qualification to **In last 7 days.**

Now let's give your audience a **Name** - add a prefix, something unique to distinguish your audience from everyone else's like your last name  Eg. `[last name] - Interested in Credit Cards`

Add a **description** to help others quickly understand your audience logic. 

Now set the **Evaluation method** to `Edge`**.   **This specifies that the audience can be calculated on the edge for qualification within milliseconds.

Click **Publish.   **To save your audience and enable it for further use.
