A calculated insight is a custom metric or measure that is derived from one or more data model objects or data lake objects in Data Cloud. A calculated insight can be used in segmentation to filter or group the data based on the calculated value. However, not all calculated insights can appear in the segmentation canvas. There are two requirements that must be met for a calculated insight to appear in the segmentation canvas:

The calculated insight must contain a dimension including the Individual or Unified Individual Id. A dimension is a field that can be used to categorize or group the data, such as name, gender, or location. The Individual or Unified Individual Id is a unique identifier for each individual profile in Data Cloud. The calculated insight must include this dimension to link the calculated value to the individual profile and to enable segmentation based on the individual profile attributes.

The primary key of the segmented table must be a dimension in the calculated insight. The primary key is a field that uniquely identifies each record in a table. The segmented table is the table that contains the data that is being segmented, such as the Customer or the Order table. The calculated insight must include the primary key of the segmented table as a dimension to ensure that the calculated value is associated with the correct record in the segmented table and to avoid duplication or inconsistency in the segmentation results.

 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

 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:

Value suggestion is a feature that allows users to see suggested values for data model object (DMO) fields when creating segment filters. However, this feature can take up to 24 hours to process and display the values for newly-modeled data. Therefore, if a user is not seeing suggested values from newly-modeled data, it is likely that the value suggestion is still processing and will be available soon. The other options are incorrect because value suggestion does not require any specific permissions, can work on both direct and related attributes, and can return more than 50 values for a specific attribute, depending on the data type and frequency of the values. References: Use Value Suggestions in Segmentation, Data Cloud Limits and Guidelines
