    2. For scheduling an export setting, scroll down to the Export setting section and select the icon.

Segment Central does not support publishing of segments created by Interact or Campaign. Additionally, since Segment Central does not support publishing of segments created by Interact or Campaign, you cannot add schedules to such segments.
