## Users table
133+
134+
There are a couple of nuances to keep in mind when it comes to the users table. This table is an aggregate view based on the `user_id` field. This means that anonymous profiles with just an `anonymous_id` identifier aren't included in this view. You can still view identify calls for anonymous audiences and computed traits in the `identifies` table.

Users table will be synced as soon as the warehouse is connected as a destination in Engage, if you have previously created Engage computations. As a result, the table might contain the data from computations not directly connected to the warehouse.

Although Engage can compute audiences and traits in real-time, these calculations are subject to the sync schedule allowed by your warehouses plan, which is usually hourly. You can check the warehouse sync history to see details about past and upcoming syncs. When you look at the sync schedule, sources with the `engage_` prefix sync data from Engage.

Yes. You can use [Warehouses Selective Sync](/docs/connections/storage/warehouses/faq/#can-i-control-what-data-is-sent-to-my-warehouse) to manage which traits, audiences, and tables get synced from Engage.

### Why are there multiple schemas prefixed with `engage_` in my warehouse when I only have one space?

Segment currently can only connect a source to one instance of each destination, for example, one source cannot send to two different Amplitude instances. To get around this restriction, Engage creates multiple sources to send events to the destinations connected to your space.
