Selected Data-Cloud-Consultant Salesforce Data Cloud Questions Answers

 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

 Consolidation Rate: The consolidation rate in Salesforce Data Cloud refers to the effectiveness of unifying records into a single profile. A low consolidation rate indicates that many records are not being successfully unified.

 Matching Rules: Matching rules are critical in the identity resolution process. They define the criteria for identifying and merging duplicate records.

 Solution:

Increase Matching Rules: Adding more matching rules improves the system's ability to identify duplicate records. This includes matching on additional fields or using more sophisticated matching algorithms.

Steps:

Access the Identity Resolution settings in Data Cloud.

Review the current matching rules.

Add new rules that consider more fields such as phone number, address, or other unique identifiers.

 Benefits:

Improved Unification: Higher accuracy in matching and merging records, leading to a higher consolidation rate.

Comprehensive Profiles: Enhanced customer profiles with consolidated data from multiple sources.

Salesforce Help: Matching Rules

Deleting an identity resolution ruleset has two major impacts that the consultant should communicate to the customer. First, it will permanently remove all unified customer data that was created by the ruleset, meaning that the unified profiles and their attributes will no longer be available in Data Cloud1. Second, it will eliminate dependencies on data model objects that were used by the ruleset, meaning that the data model objects can be modified or deleted without affecting the ruleset1. These impacts can have significant consequences for the customer’s data quality, segmentation, activation, and analytics, so the consultant should advise the customer to carefully consider the implications of deleting a ruleset before proceeding. The other options are incorrect because they are not impacts of deleting a ruleset. Option A is incorrect because deleting a ruleset will not remove all individual data, but only the unified customer data. The individual data from the source systems will still be available in Data Cloud1. Option D is incorrect because deleting a ruleset will not remove all source profile data, but only the unified customer data. The source profile data from the data streams will still be available in Data Cloud1. References: Delete an Identity Resolution Ruleset

 To ensure that freshly imported data from an Amazon S3 Bucket is ready and available to use for any segment, the following processes should be run in this order:

Refresh Data Stream: This process updates the data lake objects in Data Cloud with the latest data from the source system. It can be configured to run automatically or manually, depending on the data stream settings1. Refreshing the data stream ensures that Data Cloud has the most recent and accurate data from the Amazon S3 Bucket.

Identity Resolution: This process creates unified individual profiles by matching and consolidating source profiles from different data streams based on the identity resolution ruleset. It runs daily by default, but can be triggered manually as well2. Identity resolution ensures that Data Cloud has a single view of each customer across different data sources.

Calculated Insight: This process performs calculations on data lake objects or CRM data and returns a result as a new data object. It can be used to create metrics or measures for segmentation or analysis purposes3. Calculated insights ensure that Data Cloud has the derived data that can be used for personalization or activation.
