A consultant needs to package Data Cloud components from one organization to another. Which two Data Cloud components should the consultant include in a data kit to achieve this goal?


A. Data model objects


B. Segments


C. Calculated insights


D. Identity resolution rulesets





A.
  Data model objects

D.
  Identity resolution rulesets

Explanation:

To package Data Cloud components from one organization to another, the consultant should include the following components in a data kit:

Data model objects: These are the custom objects that define the data model for Data Cloud, such as Individual, Segment, Activity, etc. They store the data ingested from various sources and enable the creation of unified profiles and segments1.

Identity resolution rule sets: These are the rules that determine how data from different sources are matched and merged to create unified profiles. They specify the criteria, logic, and priority for identity resolution.

When performing segmentation or activation, which time zone is used to publish and refresh data?


A. Time zone specified on the activity at the time of creation


B. Time zone of the user creating the activity


C. Time zone of the Data Cloud Admin user


D. Time zone set by the Salesforce Data Cloud org





D.
  Time zone set by the Salesforce Data Cloud org

Explanation:

When performing activities like segmentation or activation within Salesforce Data Cloud (formerly known as Salesforce Audience Studio or Salesforce DMP), the system generally uses the time zone that is set at the organizational level, rather than relying on the time zone of individual users or administrators. This ensures that all operations related to publishing and refreshing data are synchronized across the platform for consistency, regardless of the location or settings of individual users. This organizational-level setting helps maintain uniformity in how data is handled and viewed across different users and activities within the system.

A customer has a requirement to receive a notification whenever an activation fails for a particular segment. Which feature should the consultant use to solution for this use case?


A. Flow


B. Report


C. Activation alert


D. Dashboard





C.
  Activation alert

Explanation:

The feature that the consultant should use to solution for this use case is C. Activation alert. Activation alerts are notifications that are sent to users when an activation fails or succeeds for a segment. Activation alerts can be configured in the Activation Settings page, where the consultant can specify the recipients, the frequency, and the conditions for sending the alerts. Activation alerts can help the customer to monitor the status of their activations and troubleshoot any issues that may arise.

What should a user do to pause a segment activation with the intent of using that segment again?


A. Deactivate the segment.


B. Delete the segment.


C. Skip the activation.


D. Stop the publish schedule.





D.
  Stop the publish schedule.

Explanation:

Stopping the publish schedule allows the user to temporarily halt the activation of a segment without deleting or deactivating it. This means the segment remains configured and ready to be reactivated whenever needed, without needing to recreate or redefine its parameters. This is useful in scenarios where you anticipate needing to use the same segment again in the future but want to temporarily suspend its activity.

Northern Trail Outfitters (NTO) is configuring an identity resolution ruleset based on Fuzzy Name and Normalized Email. What should NTO do to ensure the best email address is activated?


A. Include Contact Point Email object Is Active field as a match rule.


B. Use the source priority order in activations to make sure a contact point from the desired source is delivered to the activation target.


C. Ensure Marketing Cloud is prioritized as the first data source in the Source Priority reconciliation rule.


D. Set the default reconciliation rule to Last Updated.





B.
  Use the source priority order in activations to make sure a contact point from the desired source is delivered to the activation target.

Which two requirements must be met for a calculated insight to appear in the segmentation canvas? Choose 2 answers


A. The metrics of the calculated insights must only contain numeric values.


B. The primary key of the segmented table must be a metric in the calculated insight.


C. The calculated insight must contain a dimension including the Individual or Unified Individual Id.


D. The primary key of the segmented table must be a dimension in the calculated insight.





C.
  The calculated insight must contain a dimension including the Individual or Unified Individual Id.

D.
  The primary key of the segmented table must be a dimension in the calculated insight.

Explanation:

A calculated insight is a custom metric or measure that is derived from one or more data model objects or data lake objects in Data Cloud. A calculated insight can be used in segmentation to filter or group the data based on the calculated value. However, not all calculated insights can appear in the segmentation canvas. There are two requirements that must be met for a calculated insight to appear in the segmentation canvas:

The calculated insight must contain a dimension including the Individual or Unified Individual Id. A dimension is a field that can be used to categorize or group the data, such as name, gender, or location. The Individual or Unified Individual Id is a unique identifier for each individual profile in Data Cloud. The calculated insight must include this dimension to link the calculated value to the individual profile and to enable segmentation based on the individual profile attributes. The primary key of the segmented table must be a dimension in the calculated insight. The primary key is a field that uniquely identifies each record in a table. The segmented table is the table that contains the data that is being segmented, such as the Customer or the Order table. The calculated insight must include the primary key of the segmented table as a dimension to ensure that the calculated value is associated with the correct record in the segmented table and to avoid duplication or inconsistency in the segmentation results.

Cumulus Financial wants its service agents to view a display of all cases associated with a Unified Individual on a contact record. Which two features should a consultant consider for this use case? Choose 2 answers


A. Data Action


B. Profile API


C. Lightning Web Components


D. Query APL





B.
  Profile API

C.
  Lightning Web Components

Explanation:

A Unified Individual is a profile that combines data from multiple sources using identity resolution rules in Data Cloud. A Unified Individual can have multiple contact points, such as email, phone, or address, that link to different systems and records. A consultant can use the following features to display all cases associated with a Unified Individual on a contact record:

Profile API: This is a REST API that allows you to retrieve and update Unified Individual profiles and related attributes in Data Cloud. You can use the Profile API to query the cases that are related to a Unified Individual by using the contact point ID or the unified ID as a filter. You can also use the Profile API to update the Unified Individual profile with new or modified case information from other systems.

Lightning Web Components: These are custom HTML elements that you can use to create reusable UI components for your Salesforce apps. You can use Lightning Web Components to create a custom component that displays the cases related to a Unified Individual on a contact record. You can use the Profile API to fetch the data from Data Cloud and display it in a table, list, or chart format. You can also use Lightning Web Components to enable actions, such as creating, editing, or deleting cases, from the contact record.

The other two options are not relevant for this use case. A Data Action is a type of action that executes a flow, a data action target, or a data action script when an insight is triggered. A Data Action is used for activation and personalization, not for displaying data on a contact record. A Query APL is a query language that allows you to access and manipulate data in Data Cloud. A Query APL is used for data exploration and analysis, not for displaying data on a contact record.

If a data source does not have a field that can be designated as a primary key, what should the consultant do?


A. Use the default primary key recommended by Data Cloud.


B. Create a composite key by combining two or more source fields through a formula field.


C. Select a field as a primary key and then add a key qualifier.


D. Remove duplicates from the data source and then select a primary key.





B.
  Create a composite key by combining two or more source fields through a formula field.

Explanation:

• Understanding Primary Keys in Salesforce Data Cloud: A primary key is a unique identifier for records in a data source. It ensures that each record can be uniquely identified and accessed.

[Reference: Salesforce Primary Key Documentation,
• Challenges with Missing Primary Keys:, Some data sources may lack a natural primary key, making it difficult to uniquely identify records.,
Reference: Salesforce Data Integration Guide,
• Solution: Creating a Composite Key:,
Composite Key Definition: A composite key is created by combining two or more fields to generate a unique identifier.,
Formula Fields: Using a formula field, different fields can be concatenated to create a unique composite key.,
Example: If "Email" and "Phone Number" together uniquely identify a record, a formula field can concatenate these values to form a composite key.,
Reference: Salesforce Composite Key Creation Guide,
• Steps to Create a Composite Key:, Identify fields that, when combined, can uniquely identify each record., Create a formula field that concatenates these fields.,
Use this composite key as the primary key for the data source in Data Cloud., Reference: Salesforce Formula Field Documentation, ]

A consultant has an activation that is set to publish every 12 hours, but has discovered that updates to the data prior to activation are delayed by up to 24 hours. Which two areas should a consultant review to troubleshoot this issue? Choose 2 answers


A. Review data transformations to ensure they're run after calculated insights.


B. Review calculated insights to make sure they're run before segments are refreshed.


C. Review segments to ensure they're refreshed after the data is ingested.


D. Review calculated insights to make sure they're run after the segments are refreshed.





B.
  Review calculated insights to make sure they're run before segments are refreshed.

C.
  Review segments to ensure they're refreshed after the data is ingested.

Explanation:

The correct answer is B and C because calculated insights and segments are both dependent on the data ingestion process. Calculated insights are derived from the data model objects and segments are subsets of data model objects that meet certain criteria. Therefore, both of them need to be updated after the data is ingested to reflect the latest changes. Data transformations are optional steps that can be applied to the data streams before they are mapped to the data model objects, so they are not relevant to the issue. Reviewing calculated insights to make sure they’re run after the segments are refreshed (option D) is also incorrect because calculated insights are independent of segments and do not need to be refreshed after them.
