# Choose the audience

> Point a sequence at a table or a saved view, and control who joins it as the table grows.

A sequence draws its contacts from a table you already have, on the **Audience** tab of the sequence editor. Map which columns hold the email, name and LinkedIn URL, and every other column becomes a variable automatically.

## Point the sequence at a table

<Steps>
  <Step title="Choose a table">
    Click **Choose a table**, or **Change table** once one is already set.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Narrow it with a view">
    Pick **Whole table**, or a saved view, from the dropdown beside it.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Map the fields">
    Only **Lead email address** is required. **First name**, **Last name**, **Company** and **LinkedIn profile URL** are optional but power the variables and the LinkedIn steps.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Control who joins

A banner reports how many rows will be added. It also names how many are held back: no usable address, already on the do-not-contact list, or already enrolled. New rows are added automatically as the table grows, checked every five minutes, or click **Enrol now** to add them right away.

## Pause, resume or remove someone

These controls sit on the **Contacts** tab, one along from **Audience**. Open a contact's row menu there to **Pause** their journey, or **Resume** one that is paused or stopped on a reply.

Select several rows and click **Remove** to take them out for good. A removed contact stays out even as the audience re-syncs.

## Good to know

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="What if the guessed email column is wrong?">
    An info banner names the column Oneprofile guessed and asks you to confirm it with **Looks right**, or map a different one yourself.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Why is the lead email address column so important?">
    It is also the deduplication key, so the wrong column there is the difference between contacting each lead once and contacting them several times.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Does removing a contact affect their other sequences?">
    No. Removing them here only ends this sequence's journey. Any other sequence they are in keeps running.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I move a contact to a different sequence instead of removing them?">
    Yes, from the same row menu on the **Contacts** tab. They stop here and start at the first step of the sequence you pick, as long as it shares this one's audience table.
