Which statement about Data Cloud's Web and Mobile Application Connector is true?


A. A standard schema containing event, profile, and transaction data is created at the time the connector is configured.


B. The Tenant Specific Endpoint is auto-generated in Data Cloud when setting the connector.


C. Any data streams associated with the connector will be automatically deleted upon deleting the app from Data Cloud Setup.


D. The connector schema can be updated to delete an existing field.





B.
  The Tenant Specific Endpoint is auto-generated in Data Cloud when setting the connector.

Explanation:

When configuring the Web and Mobile Application Connector in Salesforce Data Cloud, a Tenant Specific Endpoint is automatically generated. This endpoint is unique to the organization and is used to facilitate secure data ingestion and integration with web and mobile applications.

❌ Why the other options are incorrect:

A. A standard schema containing event, profile, and transaction data is created at the time the connector is configured.
❌ Incorrect. While Data Cloud provides a standard event schema, it is not automatically created during connector configuration. You must define or map your own schema.

C. Any data streams associated with the connector will be automatically deleted upon deleting the app from Data Cloud Setup.
❌ False. Deleting the app does not automatically delete associated data streams — these must be manually removed if needed.

D. The connector schema can be updated to delete an existing field.
❌ Not supported. Once fields are defined in a data stream schema, you cannot delete them — you can only add new fields, similar to schema evolution rules across Data Cloud.

Where is value suggestion for attributes in segmentation enabled when creating the DMO?


A. Data Mapping


B. Data Transformation


C. Segment Setup


D. Data Stream Setup





A.
  Data Mapping

Explanation:

When creating a Data Model Object (DMO) in Data Cloud, value suggestions for attributes are enabled during Data Mapping because:

This is where you define the relationship between source fields and target attributes in the DMO.
Data Cloud uses the mapped data to generate suggested values for segmentation (e.g., common values for "Country" or "Product Category").

❌ Why the other options are incorrect:
B. Data Transformation

This is where you apply transformations to incoming data, not where you configure value suggestions.

C. Segment Setup
Segments use the value suggestions after they’ve been enabled in the DMO, but this is not where the setting is applied.

D. Data Stream Setup
Data Streams bring raw data into the system, but do not control segmentation UX features like value suggestions.

Northern Trail Outfitters (NTO), an outdoor lifestyle clothing brand, recently started a new line of business. The new business specializes in gourmet camping food. For business reasons as well as security reasons, it's important to NTO to keep all Data Cloud data separated by brand. Which capability best supports NTO's desire to separate its data by brand?


A. Data sources for each brand


B. Data model objects for each brand


C. Data spaces for each brand


D. Data streams for each brand





C.
  Data spaces for each brand

Explanation:

Data spaces in Salesforce Data Cloud provide a way to logically partition data based on criteria like brand, region, or department. This capability allows Northern Trail Outfitters (NTO) to:

- Segregate data by brand while maintaining a unified Data Cloud instance.
- Ensure security and governance by restricting access to specific data spaces.
- Enable brand-specific insights and activations without mixing data from different business lines.

❌ Why the other options are not sufficient:

A. Data sources for each brand

This just defines where data comes from, not how it is segregated or accessed in Data Cloud.

B. Data model objects for each brand
You could technically create different DMOs, but this is not scalable or secure for true brand separation.

D. Data streams for each brand
Like data sources, this defines ingestion, not logical separation or governance.

A user wants to be able to create a multi-dimensional metric to identify unified individual lifetime value (LTV). Which sequence of data model object (DMO) joins is necessary within the calculated Insight to enable this calculation?


A. Unified Individual > Unified Link Individual > Sales Order


B. Unified Individual > Individual > Sales Order


C. Sales Order > Individual > Unified Individual


D. Sales Order > Unified Individual





A.
  Unified Individual > Unified Link Individual > Sales Order

Explanation:

To create a multi-dimensional metric for Unified Individual Lifetime Value (LTV), the necessary sequence of Data Model Object (DMO) joins should follow this structure:

- Unified Individual → Represents the consolidated profile of an individual, combining data from multiple sources.
- Unified Link Individual → Acts as the bridge between the Unified Individual and Sales Order, ensuring proper identity resolution.
- Sales Order → Contains transactional data, which is essential for calculating lifetime value. This sequence ensures that sales transactions are correctly linked to unified individuals, allowing for an accurate LTV calculation.


❌ Why the other options are incorrect:

B. Unified Individual > Individual > Sales Order
Incorrect join path. The correct intermediary between Unified Individual and Sales Order is Unified Link Individual, not Individual.

C. Sales Order > Individual > Unified Individual

Reverse direction and also misses the Unified Link Individual, which is required for accurate joins.

D. Sales Order > Unified Individual
Skips necessary joins — you cannot link Sales Orders directly to Unified Individuals without the linking object.

During a privacy law discussion with a customer, the customer indicates they need to honor requests for the right to be forgotten. The consultant determines that Consent API will solve this business need. Which two considerations should the consultant inform the customer about? (Choose 2 answers)


A. Data deletion requests are reprocessed at 30, 60, and 90 days.


B. Data deletion requests are processed within 1 hour.


C. Data deletion requests are submitted for Individual profiles.


D. Data deletion requests submitted to Data Cloud are passed to all connected Salesforce clouds.





B.
  Data deletion requests are processed within 1 hour.

C.
  Data deletion requests are submitted for Individual profiles.

✅ Explanation:

When a customer needs to support “right to be forgotten” requests under privacy laws like GDPR or CCPA, the Salesforce Data Cloud Consent API helps automate and enforce deletion of personal data.

✅ B. Data deletion requests are processed within 1 hour.
True. Salesforce aims to process deletion requests within approximately 1 hour once received via the Consent API.
This ensures compliance with privacy regulations requiring timely response to deletion requests.

✅ C. Data deletion requests are submitted for Individual profiles.
True. Deletion requests are tied to Individual Profiles in Data Cloud, which represent a person (not just a record from one source).

This ensures all related records across sources linked to that Individual are considered in the deletion process.

Which data model subject area defines the revenue or quantity for an opportunity by product family?


A. Engagement


B. Sales Order


C. Product


D. Party





B.
  Sales Order

Explanation:

The Sales Order data model subject area defines future revenue or quantity for an opportunity by product family. It enables organizations to:

- Track revenue projections based on product families.
- Roll up data by territory, management roles, or hierarchy.
- Analyze sales trends and forecast opportunities effectively.

Why Other Options Are Incorrect:

A. Engagement → Tracks interactions (e.g., emails, service cases), not revenue.
C. Product → Defines product attributes (e.g., name, category) but not transactional metrics.
D. Party → Represents people/accounts (e.g., customers), not sales performance.

Key Takeaway:

For revenue-by-product analysis, Sales Order is the primary subject area.

A customer has outlined requirements to trigger a journey for an abandoned browse behavior. Based on the requirements, the consultant determines they will use streaming insights to trigger a data action to Journey Builder every hour. How should the consultant configure the solution to ensure the data action is triggered at the cadence required?


A. Set the activation schedule to hourly.


B. Configure the data to be ingested in hourly batches.


C. Set the journey entry schedule to run every hour.


D. Set the insights aggregation time window to 1 hour.





D.
  Set the insights aggregation time window to 1 hour.

Explanation:

To ensure that streaming insights trigger a data action to Journey Builder every hour, the insights aggregation time window must be set to 1 hour. This configuration ensures:

- Data is aggregated within the defined time frame, allowing for timely processing.
- Streaming insights generate actionable triggers at the required cadence.
- Journey Builder receives updated insights based on real-time behavioral data.


❌ Why the other options are incorrect:
A. Set the activation schedule to hourly
Not applicable in this case. Streaming Insights are event-driven, not scheduled. Activation schedules apply to batch segmentation or insights, not streaming insights.
B. Configure the data to be ingested in hourly batches
Not ideal. The point of Streaming Insights is to handle real-time or near-real-time data, not batch ingestion. Hourly batches would delay the responsiveness of the journey trigger.
C. Set the journey entry schedule to run every hour
Incorrect context. Journeys in Journey Builder are typically triggered by events or data actions, not a time-based entry schedule. The cadence should be managed via the insight logic, not the journey.

A new user of Data Cloud only needs to be able to review individual rows of ingested data and validate that it has been modeled successfully to its linked data model object. The user will also need to make changes if required. What is the minimum permission set needed to accommodate this use case?


A. Data Cloud for Marketing Specialist


B. Data Cloud Admin


C. Data Cloud for Marketing Data Aware Specialist


D. Data Cloud User





C.
  Data Cloud for Marketing Data Aware Specialist

✅ Explanation:

The Data Cloud for Marketing Data Aware Specialist permission set is designed for users who need read access to ingested data and the ability to validate how that data maps to Data Model Objects (DMOs). It also allows limited editing capabilities related to data modeling and troubleshooting, which is exactly what this use case requires.

This permission set allows:

Reviewing individual rows of ingested data
Validating how data is modeled and linked to DMOs
Making changes to data mappings or modeling (if necessary)

Northern Trail Outfitters wants to implement Data Cloud and has several use cases in mind. Which two use cases are considered a good fit for Data Cloud? Choose 2 answers


A. To ingest and unify data from various sources to reconcile customer identity


B. To create and orchestrate cross-channel marketing messages


C. To use harmonized data to more accurately understand the customer and business impact


D. To eliminate the need for separate business intelligence and IT data management tools





A.
  To ingest and unify data from various sources to reconcile customer identity

C.
  To use harmonized data to more accurately understand the customer and business impact

Explanation: Data Cloud is a data platform that can help customers connect, prepare, harmonize, unify, query, analyze, and act on their data across various Salesforce and external sources. Some of the use cases that are considered a good fit for Data Cloud are: To ingest and unify data from various sources to reconcile customer identity. Data Cloud can help customers bring all their data, whether streaming or batch, into Salesforce and map it to a common data model. Data Cloud can also help customers resolve identities across different channels and sources and create unified profiles of their customers. To use harmonized data to more accurately understand the customer and business impact. Data Cloud can help customers transform and cleanse their data before using it, and enrich it with calculated insights and related attributes. Data Cloud can also help customers create segments and audiences based on their data and activate them in any channel. Data Cloud can also help customers use AI to predict customer behavior and outcomes. The other two options are not use cases that are considered a good fit for Data Cloud. Data Cloud does not provide features to create and orchestrate cross-channel marketing messages, as this is typically handled by other Salesforce solutions such as Marketing Cloud. Data Cloud also does not eliminate the need for separate business intelligence and IT data management tools, as it is designed to work with them and complement their capabilities.

A company stores customer data in Marketing Cloud and uses the Marketing Cloud Connector to ingest data into Data Cloud. Where does a request for data deletion or right to be forgotten get submitted?


A. In Data Cloud settings


B. On the individual data profile in Data Cloud


C. In Marketing Cloud settings


D. through Consent API





C.
  In Marketing Cloud settings

Explanation: Data Deletion Requests: For companies using Salesforce Marketing Cloud and Data Cloud, managing data privacy and deletion requests is essential. Marketing Cloud Connector: This connector facilitates data integration between Marketing Cloud and Data Cloud, but data deletion requests must follow specific procedures. Deletion Requests in Marketing Cloud: Data Management: Requests for data deletion or the right to be forgotten are submitted through Marketing Cloud settings, where the customer data is originally stored and managed. Propagation: Once the request is processed in Marketing Cloud, the changes are propagated to Data Cloud through the connector.

A Data Cloud consultant recently discovered that their identity resolution process is matching individuals that share email addresses or phone numbers, but are not actually the same individual. What should the consultant do to address this issue?


A. Modify the existing ruleset with stricter matching criteria, run the ruleset and review the updated results, then adjust as needed until the individuals are matching correctly.


B. Create and run a new rules fewer matching rules, compare the two rulesets to review and verify the results, and then migrate to the new ruleset once approved.


C. Create and run a new ruleset with stricter matching criteria, compare the two rulesets to review and verify the results, and then migrate to the new ruleset once approved.


D. Modify the existing ruleset with stricter matching criteria, compare the two rulesets to review and verify the results, and then migrate to the new ruleset once approved.





C.
  Create and run a new ruleset with stricter matching criteria, compare the two rulesets to review and verify the results, and then migrate to the new ruleset once approved.

Explanation: Identity resolution is the process of linking source profiles from different data sources into unified individual profiles based on match and reconciliation rules. If the identity resolution process is matching individuals that share email addresses or phone numbers, but are not actually the same individual, it means that the match rules are too loose and need to be refined. The best way to address this issue is to create and run a new ruleset with stricter matching criteria, such as adding more attributes or increasing the match score threshold. Then, the consultant can compare the two rulesets to review and verify the results, and see if the new ruleset reduces the false positives and improves the accuracy of the identity resolution. Once the new ruleset is approved, the consultant can migrate to the new ruleset and delete the old one. The other options are incorrect because modifying the existing ruleset can affect the existing unified profiles and cause data loss or inconsistency. Creating and running a new ruleset with fewer matching rules can increase the false negatives and reduce the coverage of the identity resolution.
