Explanation:
To track the daily transaction volume for each customer in real time and send out a notification as
soon as it detects volume outside a customer’s normal range, the administrator should use a
Streaming Insight paired with a Data Action. A Streaming Insight is a metric that is calculated on
streaming data as it is ingested into Data Cloud, allowing near-real-time analysis of customer
behavior. A Data Action is an action that is triggered by a Streaming Insight, such as sending an email,
updating a record, or calling an API. By using these features, the administrator can monitor and
respond to customer transactions in real time.

Explanation:
To pause a segment activation but with the intent of using that segment again, the administrator
should stop the publish schedule for that segment. This will stop the segment from being refreshed
and activated, but it will not delete or inactivate the segment. The administrator can resume the
publish schedule at any time.

Question 3

An administrator wants to be able to create a multi-dimensional metric to identify unified individual
lifetime value (LTV). Which sequence of DMO joins are necessary within the Calculated Insight to
enable this calculation?

  • A. Unified Individual > Individual > Sales Order
  • B. Unified Individual > Unified Link Individual > Sales Order
  • C. Sales Order > Unified Individual
  • D. Sales Order > Individual > Unified Individual
Answer:

B

D

Explanation:
To create a multi-dimensional metric to identify unified individual lifetime value (LTV), the
administrator needs to join the following data model objects (DMOs) in the Calculated Insight:
Unified Individual: This DMO represents the unified profile of an individual, which contains attributes
from multiple sources.
Unified Link Individual: This DMO represents the link between an Individual DMO and a Unified
Individual DMO.
Sales Order: This DMO represents a transaction or purchase made by an individual.
The sequence of joins should start from the Unified Individual DMO, then join the Unified Link
Individual DMO using the UnifiedIndividualId field, and then join the Sales Order DMO using the
IndividualId field. This way, the administrator can access the sales order data for each unified
individual and calculate their lifetime value.

Question 4

What is the result of a segmentation criteria filtering on City | Is Equal To I 'San Jose?

  • A. Cities containing 'San Jose', 'San Jose', 'san jose'. or 'san jose'
  • D. Cities only containing 'San Jose' or 'san jose'
Answer:

C

User Votes:
A
50%
D
50%

Explanation:
According to the Data Cloud documentation, the Is Equal To operator is case-insensitive, meaning it
matches values regardless of capitalization. Therefore, the segmentation criteria filtering on City | Is
Equal To | ‘San Jose’ will include cities that contain either ‘San Jose’ or ‘san jose’.

Question 5

What are three benefits of Calculated Insights over Segmentation Operators?

  • A. Calculated Insights are better suited for non-trivial calculations, such as calculating a Net Promoter Score as a percentage
  • B. Calculated Insights results can be refreshed near real time
  • C. Calculated Insights are better suited for single row based operation
  • D. Calculated Insights can query engagement data greater than 2 years
  • E. Calculated Insights are better suited for complex queries over multiple objects
Answer:

A, D, E

Explanation:
Calculated Insights are predefined and calculated metrics that can help you build segments. Some of
the benefits of Calculated Insights over Segmentation Operators are:
Calculated Insights are better suited for non-trivial calculations, such as calculating a Net Promoter
Score as a percentage, which would require multiple steps and operators in segmentation.
Calculated Insights can query engagement data greater than 2 years, while segmentation operators
are limited to 2 years of engagement data.
Calculated Insights are better suited for complex queries over multiple objects, such as joining data
from different sources or aggregating data across different levels.

Question 7

When creating a segment on an individual, what is the result of using two separate containers linked

Explanation:
According to the Data Cloud documentation, when using two separate containers linked by an AND
operator, the segment includes individuals who meet both conditions. In this case, the segment
includes individuals who purchased at least one product with the color attribute equal to ‘red’, and
also purchased at least one product with the primary product category attribute equal to ‘shoes’. The
products do not have to be the same or in the same order line item.

Question 8

What does the Source Sequence reconciliation rule do in Identity Resolution?

  • A. Sets the priority of specific data sources when building attributes in a unified profile such as a first or last name
  • B. Identifies which data sources should be used in the process of reconciliation by prioritizing the most recently updated data source
  • C. Includes data from sources where the data is alphanumerically sequenced
  • D. Identifies which individual records should be merged into a unified profile by setting a priority for specific data sources

A

Explanation:
The Source Sequence reconciliation rule allows you to sort your data sources in order of most to least
preferred for inclusion in a unified profile9
. For example, you can specify that data from Marketing
Cloud should have higher priority than data from Service Cloud when selecting attributes such as first
name or last name.

Unified Individual: This object represents the unified profile of an individual, which contains
attributes from multiple sources.
Unified Contact Point: This object represents the unified contact information of an individual, such as
email, phone, address, or app.
Unified Link: This object represents the link between an Individual object and a Unified Individual
object, or between a Contact Point object and a Unified Contact Point object.

Question 10

What does the Ignore Empty Value option do in Identity Resolution?

  • A. Ignores Individual object records with empty fields when running Identity Resolution rules
  • B. Ignores empty fields when running any custom match rules
  • C. Ignores empty fields when running reconciliation rules
  • D. Ignores empty fields when running the standard match rules

Explanation:
The Ignore Empty Value option is a setting for reconciliation rules, which determine the logic for data
selection in a unified profile7
. If this option is enabled, empty fields are ignored when applying the
reconciliation rule. For example, if the rule is to select the most frequent value, and one of the values
is empty, it will not be counted as a frequency.

Question 15

An administrator has configured the Salesforce CRM connector and set up a data stream for the Case
object. A new custom field called "Business Priority" was created on the Case object. However, that
field is not available when trying to add it in the data stream. What could be causing this issue?

  • A. Custom fields on the Case objects are not supported for ingesting into Data Cloud
  • B. Utilize the Salesforce Dataloader application to perform a bulk upload from a desktop
  • C. The Data Cloud administrator does not need to do anything. After 24 hours when the data stream refreshes, it will automatically include any new fields that were added to CRM
  • D. The Salesforce Integration User is missing "Read" permissions on the newly created field
Answer:

D

User Votes:
A
50%
B
50%
C
50%
D
50%

Explanation:
One possible reason why a new custom field is not available in the data stream is that the Salesforce
Integration User, which is used to connect to the CRM source, does not have “Read” permissions on
that field2
. To fix this issue, the administrator needs to grant the appropriate permissions to the
Integration User profile or permission set.
