Metadata file
Exporting audiences metadata
An additional
.METADATA
suffixed JSON file can be optionally included with your Audience Export, which help to gain more context regarding the exported audience. For instance, an export named:
AudienceABC-Client123-7956915742.TSV
will come with the following sibling file AudienceABC-Client123-7956915742.TSV.METADATA
Here are some examples of pretty-printed JSON metadata files content for both types of exports:
1) IDs only (CSV | TSV files)

In the UI, simply toggle the checkbox to have a metadata file included during the export. If you do not wish to export the metadata file, you can uncheck this box.
