That sequence converts fragmented dealership interactions into consistent modeled information that can support analytical reporting across the customer journey.
What does the Ignore Empty Value option do in identity resolution?
-
A
Ignores empty fields when running any custom match rules
-
B
Ignores empty fields when running reconciliation rules
-
C
Ignores Individual object records with empty fields when running identity resolution rules
-
D
Ignores empty fields when running the standard match rules
Reveal answer details
Close answer details
Correct answerB
ExplanationIgnore Empty Value applies while reconciliation rules determine which attribute value to retain for a unified record. An empty field is excluded from that reconciliation decision, preventing the blank from being considered as the value to select. It is not a rule for discarding entire Individual records.
Northern Trail Outfitters (NTO) wants to create a segment where a unique record is created in the published audience for every transaction a customer completes. If a customer makes three separate purchases, the resulting segment should contain three distinct entries for that customer to allow for transaction-specific messaging. All transactions are mapped to the Sales Order data model object (DMO), and NTO is using Identity Resolution to unify customers on the Unified Individual DMO. Which configuration should a Data 360 Consultant use to meet this requirement?
-
A
Segment on the Individual DMO
-
B
Segment on a calculated insight based on Sales Orders
-
C
Segment on the Sales Order DMO
-
D
Segment on the Unified Individual DMO
Reveal answer details
Close answer details
Correct answerC
ExplanationSegmenting on the Sales Order DMO sets the audience grain at the transaction record. Each purchase is a separate Sales Order, so three purchases yield three published entries for the same customer. Segmenting on the Unified Individual DMO would instead use the unified customer as the record grain.
A Data 360 Consultant is building a marketing-to- sales handoff process that requires sales reps to see a chronological list of a prospect ' s Web Page Views and Email Clicks directly on the Lead record.

Question 13
Single choice
A consultant is ingesting a list of employees from their human resources database that they want to segment on. Which data stream category should the consultant choose when ingesting this data?
-
A
-
B
-
C
-
D
Reveal answer details
Close answer details
Correct answerC
ExplanationThe employee list belongs in the Other Data stream category for this segmentation use case. It is a human-resources dataset rather than an event describing an interaction, so categorizing it as Other Data preserves the nature of the imported records while still making their fields available for segmentation.
Question 14
Single choice
What does the Source Sequence reconciliation rule do in identity resolution?
-
A
Includes data from sources where the data is most frequently occurring
-
B
Identifies which individual records should be merged into a unified profile by setting a priority for specific data sources

-
D
Sets the priority of specific data sources when building attributes in a unified profile, such as a first or last name
Reveal answer details
Close answer details
Correct answerD
ExplanationSource Sequence is a reconciliation rule that sets which data source has priority when an attribute for a unified profile is built. For example, it can determine which source supplies a first or last name when multiple records contribute values. It governs attribute value selection, not which records match.
Question 15
Single choice
Northern Trail Outfitters uploads new customer data to an Amazon S3 Bucket on a daily basis to be ingested in Data Cloud. In what order should each process be run to ensure that freshly imported data is ready and available to use for any segment?

Correct answerD
ExplanationThe first deployment has no previously loaded baseline for the CRM data stream. A full refresh establishes that initial dataset by loading the available records, which is why the initial connector deployment uses a full refresh rather than an incremental or partial update.
Question 34
Single choice
A user is not seeing suggested values from newly-modeled data when building a segment. What is causing this issue?
-
A
Value suggestion is still processing and to be available.
-
B
Value suggestion requires Data Aware Specialist permissions at a minimum.
-
C
Value suggestion can only work on direct attributes and not related attributes.
-
D
Value suggestion will only return result for the first 50 values of a specific attribute.
Reveal answer details
Close answer details
Correct answerA
ExplanationSuggested values for newly modeled data are generated asynchronously, so they may not appear as soon as the model is created. Here, value suggestion is still processing; once that process finishes, the suggestions become available in the segment builder without changing the modeled fields.
Question 35

Reveal answer details
Close answer details
Correct answerB
ExplanationThe original record combines hotel and airline point balances, but the required result separates those values for independent tracking. A batch transform can reshape the ingested records and write the separated representation to a second data lake object without requiring the CRM source structure itself to be redesigned.
Question 36
Single choice
A consultant at Northern Trail Outfitters is attempting to ingest a field from the Contact object in Salesforce CRM that contains both yyyy-mm-dd and yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss values. The target field is set to Date datatype. Which statement is true in this situation?
-
A
The target field will throw an error and store null values.
-
B
The target field will be able to hold both types of values.
-
C
The target field will only hold the time part and ignore the date part.
-
D
The target field will only hold the date part and ignore the time part.
Reveal answer details
Close answer details
Correct answerD
ExplanationSince the target field uses the Date datatype, it can hold the date part of each incoming value but has no place for a time component. A yyyy-mm-dd value remains a date, while a yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss value contributes its date part and the target field ignores the time part.
Question 37
Single choice

-
B
Calculated insight and segment
-
C
Streaming insight and segment
-
D
