Salesforce Exam Data Cloud Consultant Topic 5 Question 30 Discussion

Actual exam question for Salesforce's Data Cloud Consultant exam

Question #: 30
Topic #: 5

A consultant is helping a beauty company ingest its profile data into Data Cloud. The company's source data includes several fields, such as eye color, skin type, and hair color, that are not fields in the standard Individual data model object (DMO).

What should the consultant recommend to map this data to be used for both segmentation and identity resolution?

ACreate a custom DMO from scratch that has all fields that are needed.

BCreate a custom DMO with only the additional fields and map it to the standard Individual DMO.

CCreate custom fields on the standard Individual DMO.

DDuplicate the standard Individual DMO and add the additional fields.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

The best option to map the data to be used for both segmentation and identity resolution is to create custom fields on the standard Individual DMO.This way, the consultant can leverage the existing fields and functionality of the Individual DMO, such as identity resolution rulesets, calculated insights, and data actions, while adding the additional fields that are specific to the beauty company's data1. Creating a custom DMO from scratch or duplicating the standard Individual DMO would require more effort and maintenance, and might not be compatible with the existing features of Data Cloud. Creating a custom DMO with only the additional fields and mapping it to the standard Individual DMO would create unnecessary complexity and redundancy, and might not allow the use of the custom fields for identity resolution.

Hah, Option D - duplicating the standard DMO? That's like using duct tape to fix a leaky faucet. Might work, but not the prettiest solution, you know?

Hmm, I'm feeling Option C here. Customizing the standard Individual DMO could be a good way to keep everything in one place. Depends on how many extra fields we're talking about, I guess.

Ah, I see. Gotta love those custom DMOs. Option B seems like the way to go - don't mess with the standard stuff, just add what we need on the side.

I think we should create a custom DMO from scratch with all the needed fields.
