Note that when running queries in DESelect Segment, it's important to note that these queries are executed independently and are not part of an Automation in Salesforce Marketing Cloud (SFMC). As a result, the standard SFMC Data Views (eg, Automation Instances and Automation Activity Instances), do not capture DESelect Segment queries.
