- It may be helpful to first identify an entity that is directly associated with your users, such as `Accounts`, `Households`, or `Organizations`.
26-
- From there you can define relationships between this entity with any of the other entities that may be associated with it, such as how `Accounts` can have the following: `Subscriptions`, `Purchases`, or `Carts`.
27-
- You can create entity relationships up to four levels in depth. For example, an entity condition that queries for relationships between `Profiles`, `Accounts`, `Credit Cards`, and `Transactions` has four levels of depth.

- To further refine your audience, identify column values that you might want to filter your entities by, or configure profile traits and audience membership conditions.
