When configuring a new Audience Group, the "User Groups" button is initially disabled due to a specific workflow designed to ensure proper configuration initialization. Here's a detailed explanation:
### Why the User Groups Button is Disabled
1. **Initial Configuration Requirement**
- When you first create a new Audience Group, the User Groups button appears next to enabled settings but remains inactive.
- Hovering over the button will display a tooltip: _"User groups will be available after the audience group is saved."_
2. **Initialization Process**
- The Audience Group must be **saved first** before User Groups can be configured.
- This ensures that all configurations are properly initialized before assigning user groups.
### Workflow to Enable User Groups
1. Create the Audience Group
2. Enable the relevant settings
3. **Save the Audience Group**
- Once saved, the **User Groups** button becomes active
- You can then click on the button to configure user groups for specific settings
### Visual Representation
### Important Validation Rules
- **Cannot disable a setting if User Groups already exist**
- **Can disable a setting only if no User Groups are present**
### Key Takeaways
- Saving the Audience Group is a mandatory first step
- This approach prevents premature configuration of user groups
- Ensures a structured and controlled configuration process
By following this workflow, you maintain a clean and systematic approach to setting up user groups within Audience Groups.
