Salesforce Updated Data-Cloud-Consultant Exam Questions and Answers by abu

 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

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

Data Cloud is an open and extensible data platform that enables smarter, more efficient AI with secure access to first-party and industry data1. Two functional areas that the consultant should highlight in relation to managing customer data are:

Data Harmonization: Data Cloud harmonizes data from multiple sources and formats into a common schema, enabling a single source of truth for customer data1. Data Cloud also applies data quality rules and transformations to ensure data accuracy and consistency.

Unified Profiles: Data Cloud creates unified profiles of customers and prospects by linking data across different identifiers, such as email, phone, cookie, and device ID1. Unified profiles provide a holistic view of customer behavior, preferences, and interactions across channels and touchpoints. The other options are not correct because:

Master Data Management: Master Data Management (MDM) is a process of creating and maintaining a single, consistent, and trusted source of master data, such as product, customer, supplier, or location data. Data Cloud does not provide MDM functionality, but it can integrate with MDM solutions to enrich customer data.

Data Marketplace: Data Marketplace is a feature of Data Cloud that allows users to discover, access, and activate data from third-party providers, such as demographic, behavioral, and intent data. Data Marketplace is not a functional area related to managing customer data, but rather a source of external data that can enhance customer data. References:
