Structures and Audiences work together to organise your learners: a Structure is the top-level group – for example, a region or department – and an Audience is a smaller group within it, such as a team or a specific tenure range.
An Audience always belongs to a Structure, so you can’t create one on its own. Create your Structure first, then create the Audiences that sit inside it.
To create a Structure and an Audience, in the Thrive menu, go to Manage > Structures & Audiences.
Create a Structure
On the Structures screen, click + Create a new structure.
Under Structure details, enter a Structure name.
Under Content visibility & sharing:
Choose who can share content in this Structure – Everyone, Admins, or Only members.
Note:
Structure admins with the Manage Content permission can always share, regardless of this setting.
Choose a Default content privacy for this Structure – Public or Private. Content authors can override this for individual pieces of content.
Under Membership options, define the Structure’s members:
Everyone: Includes all users. You can still create Audiences within the Structure for specific groups.
Rule based membership: Includes only users who match the rules you define. See Add Membership Rules.
Click Review structure.
Check the Structure details, then click Publish structure.
Your Structure is now live and appears on the All structures table. You can now add Audiences to it, delegate its management, and track its members and assignments.

Check the Audience details, then click Create audience.
Your Audience is created and added to the Structure. It appears on the All structures table under the associated Structure.
