A customer who wants to view the last time each segment was published within their Data Cloud org can use the dashboard and report features to achieve this requirement. A dashboard is a visual representation of data that can show key metrics, trends, and comparisons. A report is a tabular or matrix view of data that can show details, summaries, and calculations. Both dashboard and report features allow the user to create, customize, and share data views based on their needs and preferences. To view the last time each segment was published, the user can create a dashboard or a report that shows the segment name, the publish date, and the publish status fields from the segment object. The user can also filter, sort, group, or chart the data by these fields to get more insights and analysis. The user can also schedule, refresh, or export the dashboard or report data as needed. References: Dashboards, Reports

The consolidation rate is a metric that measures the amount by which source profiles are combined to produce unified profiles in Data Cloud, calculated as 1 - (number of unified profiles / number of source profiles). A higher consolidation rate means that more source profiles are matched and merged into fewer unified profiles, while a lower consolidation rate means that fewer source profiles are matched and more unified profiles are created. There are two likely explanations for why the consolidation rate has recently increased for a customer:

• New data sources have been added to Data Cloud that largely overlap with the existing profiles. This means that the new data sources contain many profiles that are similar or identical to the profiles from the existing data sources. For example, if a customer adds a new CRM system that has the same customer records as their old CRM system, the new data source will overlap with the existing one. When Data Cloud ingests the new data source, it will use the identity resolution ruleset to match and merge the overlapping profiles into unified profiles, resulting in a higher consolidation rate.
• Identity resolution rules have been added to the ruleset to increase the number of matched profiles. This means that the customer has modified their identity resolution ruleset to include more match rules or more match criteria that can identify more profiles as belonging to the same individual. For example, if a customer adds a match rule that matches profiles based on email address and phone number, instead of just email address, the ruleset will be able to match more profiles that have the same email address and phone number, resulting in a higher consolidation rate.

 The B2C Commerce Starter Bundles are predefined data streams that ingest order and product data from B2C Commerce into Data Cloud. However, the starter bundles only bring in the last 90 days of data by default. To bring in two years of transactional history, NTO needs to use a custom extract from B2C Commerce that includes the historical data and configure the data stream to use the custom extract as the source. The other options are not sufficient to achieve this because:

• A. B2C Commerce Starter Bundles only ingest the last 90 days of data by default.
• B. Direct Sales Order entity ingestion is not a supported method for connecting B2C Commerce data with Data Cloud. Data Cloud does not provide a direct-access connection for B2C Commerce data, only data ingestion.
• C. Direct Sales Product entity ingestion is not a supported method for connecting B2C Commerce data with Data Cloud. Data Cloud does not provide a direct-access connection for B2C Commerce data, only data ingestion. References: Create a B2C Commerce Data Bundle - Salesforce, B2C Commerce Connector - Salesforce, Salesforce B2C Commerce Pricing Plans & Costs

 To address this new use case, the consultant should map the primary key from the two systems to Party Identification, using CRM ID as the identification name for both, and create a matching rule based on party identification that matches on CRM ID as the party identification name. This way, the consultant can ensure that the CRM Contacts and Marketing Contacts are matched based on their CRM ID, which is a unique identifier for each individual. By using Party Identification, the consultant can also leverage the benefits of this attribute, such as being able to match across different entities and sources, and being able to handle multiple values for the same individual. The other options are incorrect because they either do not use the CRM ID as the primary key, or they do not use Party Identification as the attribute type. References: Configure Identity Resolution Rulesets, Identity Resolution Match Rules, Data Cloud Identity Resolution Ruleset, Data Cloud Identity Resolution Config Input

The correct answer is A. Deactivate the segment. If a segment is no longer needed, it can be deactivated through Data Cloud and applies to all chosen targets. A deactivated segment no longer publishes, but it can be reactivated at any time1. This option allows the user to pause a segment activation with the intent of using that segment again.

The other options are incorrect for the following reasons:

• B. Delete the segment. This option permanently removes the segment from Data Cloud and cannot be undone2. This option does not allow the user to use the segment again.
• C. Skip the activation. This option skips the current activation cycle for the segment, but does not affect the future activation cycles3. This option does not pause the segment activation indefinitely.
• D. Stop the publish schedule. This option stops the segment from publishing to the chosen targets, but does not deactivate the segment4. This option does not pause the segment activation completely.

 Metrics on metrics is a feature that allows creating new metrics based on existing metrics and applying mathematical operations on them. This can be useful for calculating complex business metrics such as LTV, ROI, or conversion rates. In this case, the consultant can use metrics on metrics to calculate the LTV of each customer by summing up the revenue generated by them across different channels. The consultant can also create breakdowns of the revenue by channel by using the channel attribute as a dimension in the metric definition. References: Metrics on Metrics, Create Metrics on Metrics

The best option to map the data to be used for both segmentation and identity resolution is to create custom fields on the standard Individual DMO. This way, the consultant can leverage the existing fields and functionality of the Individual DMO, such as identity resolution rulesets, calculated insights, and data actions, while adding the additional fields that are specific to the beauty company’s data1. Creating a custom DMO from scratch or duplicating the standard Individual DMO would require more effort and maintenance, and might not be compatible with the existing features of Data Cloud. Creating a custom DMO with only the additional fields and mapping it to the standard Individual DMO would create unnecessary complexity and redundancy, and might not allow the use of the custom fields for identity resolution. References:

• 1: Data Model Objects in Data Cloud

The most efficient option to allow for this capability is to create a reusable container block with common criteria. A container block is a segment component that can be reused across multiple segments. A container block can contain any combination of filters, nested segments, and exclusion criteria. A consultant can create a container block with the exclusion criteria that apply to all the segments managed by multiple brand teams, and then add the container block to each segment. This way, the consultant can update the exclusion criteria in one place and have them reflected in all the segments that use the container block.

The other options are not the most efficient options to allow for this capability. Creating, publishing, and deploying a data kit is a way to share data and segments across different data spaces, but it does not allow for updating the exclusion criteria on a monthly basis. Creating a nested segment is a way to combine segments using logical operators, but it does not allow for excluding individuals based on specific criteria. Creating a segment and copying it for each brand is a way to create multiple segments with the same exclusion criteria, but it does not allow for updating the exclusion criteria in one place.

When advising a customer about using the Consent API in Salesforce to comply with requests for the right to be forgotten, the consultant should focus on two primary considerations:

• Data deletion requests are submitted for Individual profiles (Answer C): The Consent API in Salesforce is designed to handle data deletion requests specifically for individual profiles. This means that when a request is made to delete data, it is targeted at the personal data associated with an individual's profile in the Salesforce system. The consultant should inform the customer that the requests must be specific to individual profiles to ensure accurate processing and compliance with privacy laws.
• Data deletion requests submitted to Data Cloud are passed to all connected Salesforce clouds (Answer D): When a data deletion request is made through the Consent API in Salesforce Data Cloud, the request is not limited to the Data Cloud alone. Instead, it propagates through all connected Salesforce clouds, such as Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, Marketing Cloud, etc. This ensures comprehensive compliance with the right to be forgotten across the entire Salesforce ecosystem. The customer should be aware that the deletion request will affect all instances of the individual’s data across the connected Salesforce environments.

The most efficient approach that a consultant should take when ingesting this data to ensure all the different phone numbers are properly mapped and available for use in activation is B. Ingest the Contact object and use streaming transforms to normalize the phone numbers from the Contact data stream into a separate Phone data lake object (DLO) that contains three rows, and then map this new DLO to the Contact Point Phone data map object. This approach allows the consultant to use the streaming transforms feature of Data Cloud, which enables data manipulation and transformation at the time of ingestion, without requiring any additional processing or storage. Streaming transforms can be used to normalize the phone numbers from the Contact data stream, such as removing spaces, dashes, or parentheses, and adding country codes if needed. The normalized phone numbers can then be stored in a separate Phone DLO, which can have one row for each phone number type (work, home, mobile). The Phone DLO can then be mapped to the Contact Point Phone data map object, which is a standard object that represents a phone number associated with a contact point. This way, the consultant can ensure that all the phone numbers are available for activation, such as sending SMS messages or making calls to the customers.

The other options are not as efficient as option B. Option A is incorrect because it does not normalize the phone numbers, which may cause issues with activation or identity resolution. Option C is incorrect because it requires creating a calculated insight, which is an additional step that consumes more resources and time than streaming transforms. Option D is incorrect because it requires creating formula fields in the Contact data stream, which may not be supported by the CRM Connector or may cause conflicts with the existing fields in the Contact object. References: Salesforce Data Cloud Consultant Exam Guide, Data Ingestion and Modeling, Streaming Transforms, Contact Point Phone

 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. References: Profile API Developer Guide, Lightning Web Components Developer Guide, Create Unified Individual Profiles Unit

To create a new data stream from a custom Salesforce CRM object, the consultant needs to confirm that the View All object permission is enabled in the source Salesforce CRM org. This permission allows the user to view all records associated with the object, regardless of sharing settings1. Without this permission, the custom object will not be available in the New Data Stream configuration2. References:

• Manage Access with Data Cloud Permission Sets
• Object Permissions

A streaming insight is a type of insight that analyzes streaming data in real time and triggers actions based on predefined conditions. 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. By using a streaming insight paired with a data action, a consultant can accommodate Cumulus Financial’s request to track the daily transaction volume of each customer and send out a notification when the volume is outside the normal range. A calculated insight is a type of insight that performs calculations on data in a data space and stores the results in a data extension. A streaming data transform is a type of data transform that applies transformations to streaming data in real time and stores the results in a data extension. A flow is a type of automation that executes a series of actions when triggered by an event, a schedule, or another flow. None of these options can achieve the same functionality as a streaming insight paired with a data action. References: Use Insights in Data Cloud Unit, Streaming Insights and Data Actions Use Cases, Streaming Insights and Data Actions Limits and Behaviors

The correct answer is B, Unified Individual. A Unified Individual is a record that represents a customer across different data sources, created by applying identity resolution rulesets. Identity resolution rulesets are sets of match and reconciliation rules that define how to link and merge data from different sources based on common attributes. Data Cloud uses identity resolution rulesets to resolve data across multiple data sources and helps you create one record for each customer, regardless of where the data came from1. A retail customer who wants to bring customer data from different sources and use identity resolution for segmentation should segment on the Unified Individual entity, which contains the resolved and consolidated customer data. The other options are incorrect because they do not represent the resolved customer data across different sources. A Subscriber is a record that represents a customer who has opted in to receive marketing communications. A Unified Contact is a record that represents a customer who has a relationship with a specific business unit. An Individual is a record that represents a customer’s profile data from a single data source. References:

 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 rulesets: 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 resolution2. References:
• 1: Data Model Objects in Data Cloud
• 2: Identity Resolution Rulesets in Data Cloud

 The file on the Amazon S3 that will contain the metadata about the segment for processing is B. The json file. The json file is a metadata file that is generated along with the csv file when a segment is activated to Amazon S3. The json file contains information such as the segment name, the segment ID, the segment size, the segment attributes, the segment filters, and the segment schedule. The destination system can use this file to identify the segment and its properties, and to match the segment data with the corresponding fields in the destination system. References: Salesforce Data Cloud Consultant Exam Guide, Amazon S3 Activation

The most likely cause of this issue is that value suggestion is still processing and takes up to 24 hours to be available. Value suggestion is a feature that enables you to see suggested values for data model object (DMO) fields when creating segment filters. However, this feature needs to be enabled for each DMO field, and it can take up to 24 hours for the suggested values to appear after enabling the feature1. Therefore, if a user is not seeing suggested values from newly-modeled data, it could be that the data has not been processed yet by the value suggestion feature. References:

• Use Value Suggestions in Segmentation

 The Contact Point_Email object is the data entity that represents an email address associated with an individual in Data Cloud. It is part of the Customer 360 Data Model, which is a standardized data model that defines common entities and relationships for customer data. The Contact Point_Email object can be mapped to any custom or standard object that stores email addresses in Salesforce CRM, such as the custom Customer Email__c object. The other options are not the correct data entities to map to because:

• A. The Contact object is the data entity that represents a person who is associated with an account that is a customer, partner, or competitor in Salesforce CRM. It is not the data entity that represents an email address in Data Cloud.
• C. The custom Customer Email__c object is not a data entity in Data Cloud, but a custom object in Salesforce CRM. It can be mapped to a data entity in Data Cloud, such as the Contact Point_Email object, but it is not a data entity itself.
• D. The Individual object is the data entity that represents a unique person in Data Cloud. It is the core entity for managing consent and privacy preferences, and it can be related to one or more contact points, such as email addresses, phone numbers, or social media handles. It is not the data entity that represents an email address in Data Cloud. References: Customer 360 Data Model: Individual and Contact Points - Salesforce, Contact Point_Email | Object Reference for the Salesforce Platform | Salesforce Developers, [Contact | Object Reference for the Salesforce Platform | Salesforce Developers], [Individual | Object Reference for the Salesforce Platform | Salesforce Developers]

The filter operator Last Number of Days allows you to filter on date fields using a relative date range that specifies the number of days before today. For example, you can use this operator to filter on customers who have visited your website in the last 7 days, or the last 30 days, or any number of days you want. This operator is useful for creating dynamic segments that update automatically based on the current date12. References:

• Relative Date Filter Reference
• Create Filtered Segments

The correct answer is D. The CRM Connector allows standard fields to stream into Data Cloud in real time. This means that any changes to the standard fields in the CRM data source are reflected in Data Cloud almost instantly, without waiting for the next scheduled synchronization. This feature enables Data Cloud to have the most up-to-date and accurate CRM data for segmentation and activation1.

The other options are incorrect for the following reasons:

• A. CRM data can be manually refreshed at any time by clicking the Refresh button on the data stream detail page2. This option is false.
• B. The CRM Connector’s synchronization times can be customized to up to 60-minute intervals, not 15-minute intervals3. This option is false.
• C. Formula fields are not refreshed at regular sync intervals, but only at the next full refresh4. A full refresh is a complete data ingestion process that occurs once every 24 hours or when manually triggered. This option is false.

 Value suggestion for attributes in segmentation is a feature that allows you to see and select the possible values for a text field when creating segment filters. You can enable or disable this feature for each data model object (DMO) field in the DMO record home. Value suggestion can be enabled for up to 500 attributes for your entire org. It can take up to 24 hours for suggested values to appear. To use value suggestion when creating segment filters, you need to drag the attribute onto the canvas and start typing in the Value field for an attribute. You can also select multiple values for some operators. Value suggestion is not available for attributes with more than 255 characters or for relationships that are one-to-many (1:N). References: Use Value Suggestions in Segmentation, Considerations for Selecting Related Attributes

Data streams are the sources of data that are ingested into Data Cloud and mapped to the data model. Data streams have different categories that determine how the data is processed and used in Data Cloud. Transaction data streams are used for time-based operations in segmentation and calculated insights, such as filtering by date range, aggregating by time period, or calculating time-to-event metrics. Transaction data streams are typically used for event data, such as purchases, clicks, or visits, that have a timestamp and a value associated with them. References: Data Streams, Data Stream Categories

NTO is using Fuzzy Name and Normalized Email as match rules to link together data from different sources into a unified individual profile. However, there might be cases where the same email address is available from more than one source, and NTO needs to decide which one to use for activation. For example, if Rachel has the same email address in Service Cloud and Marketing Cloud, but prefers to receive communications from NTO via Marketing Cloud, NTO needs to ensure that the email address from Marketing Cloud is activated. To do this, NTO can use the source priority order in activations, which allows them to rank the data sources in order of preference for activation. By placing Marketing Cloud higher than Service Cloud in the source priority order, NTO can make sure that the email address from Marketing Cloud is delivered to the activation target, such as an email campaign or a journey. This way, NTO can respect Rachel’s preference and deliver a better customer experience. References: Configure Activations, Use Source Priority Order in Activations

 The field type Text should be chosen to ensure that leading zeros in the purchase order number are preserved. This is because text fields store alphanumeric characters as strings, and do not remove any leading or trailing characters. On the other hand, number, decimal, and serial fields store numeric values as numbers, and automatically remove any leading zeros when displaying or exporting the data123. Therefore, text fields are more suitable for storing data that needs to retain its original format, such as purchase order numbers, zip codes, phone numbers, etc. References:

• Zeros at the start of a field appear to be omitted in Data Exports
• Keep First ‘0’ When Importing a CSV File
• Import and export address fields that begin with a zero or contain a plus symbol

 The Ignore Empty Value option in identity resolution allows customers to ignore empty fields when running reconciliation rules. Reconciliation rules are used to determine the final value of an attribute for a unified individual profile, based on the values from different sources. The Ignore Empty Value option can be set to true or false for each attribute in a reconciliation rule. If set to true, the reconciliation rule will skip any source that has an empty value for that attribute and move on to the next source in the priority order. If set to false, the reconciliation rule will consider any source that has an empty value for that attribute as a valid source and use it to populate the attribute value for the unified individual profile.

The other options are not correct descriptions of what the Ignore Empty Value option does in identity resolution. The Ignore Empty Value option does not affect the custom match rules or the standard match rules, which are used to identify and link individuals across different sources based on their attributes. The Ignore Empty Value option also does not ignore individual object records with empty fields when running identity resolution rules, as identity resolution rules operate on the attribute level, not the record level.

The Salesforce CRM Connector uses the Salesforce Integration User to access the data from the Salesforce CRM org. The Integration User must have the Read permission on the fields that are included in the data stream. If the Integration User does not have the Read permission on the newly created field, the field will not be available for selection in the data stream configuration. To resolve this issue, the administrator should assign the Read permission on the new field to the Integration User profile or permission set. References: Create a Salesforce CRM Data Stream, Edit a Data Stream, Salesforce Data Cloud Full Refresh for CRM, SFMC, or Ingestion API Data Streams

To use the Amazon S3 Storage Connector in Data Cloud, the consultant needs to provide the S3 bucket name, region, and access key and secret key for authentication. The access key and secret key are generated by AWS and can be managed in the IAM console. The other options are not supported by the S3 Storage Connector or by Data Cloud. References: Amazon S3 Storage Connector - Salesforce, How to Use the Amazon S3 Storage Connector in Data Cloud | Salesforce Developers Blog

The Event Time field is a special field type that captures the timestamp of an event in a data stream. It is used to track the chronological order of events and to enable time-based segmentation and activation. When ingesting Case data, the recommended field to be associated with the Event Time field is the Last Modified Date field. This field reflects the most recent update to the case and can be used to measure the case duration, resolution time, and customer satisfaction. The other fields, such as Resolution Date, Escalation Date, or Creation Date, are not as suitable for the Event Time field, as they may not capture the latest status of the case or may not be applicable for all cases. References: Data Stream Field Types, Salesforce Data Cloud Exam Questions
