Data 360 Consultant Practice Test 6 — 10 Questions

Question 1

What is the primary purpose of configuring Data Spaces in Salesforce Data Cloud?

Accepted Answer

To logically partition data, insights, and segments within a single tenant for different business units.. Data Spaces allow organizations to partition their data, segments, and insights for security, organizational separation, or multi-brand management.

Answer

To increase the maximum data storage capacity of the Data Cloud tenant.

Answer

To accelerate data stream ingestion speeds from external cloud storage providers.

Answer

To connect multiple production Salesforce CRM orgs to Data Cloud simultaneously.

Question 2

What role do match rules play within an Identity Resolution ruleset in Salesforce Data Cloud?

Accepted Answer

They define the criteria used to determine which source records represent the same individual and should be linked.. Match rules define the criteria used to identify whether multiple source records refer to the same individual.

Answer

They dictate which field values survive on the unified profile.

Answer

They export unified profiles to external marketing platforms.

Answer

They cleanse raw data streams prior to ingestion.

Question 3

A consultant creates a data stream from a custom Salesforce CRM object. After activation, the client adds new custom fields to the source object in Salesforce CRM. How can the consultant ensure these new fields are ingested into Data Cloud?

Accepted Answer

Edit the data stream configuration to select and add the newly created fields.. When source schema changes occur in connected CRM objects, the consultant must edit the data stream configuration to include the newly added fields.

Answer

Delete the entire data stream and recreate it from scratch.

Answer

Write a SOQL query in Data Cloud Query Editor to pull the new fields.

Answer

New fields are automatically detected and ingested without any administrative action.

Question 4

Which TWO benefits are provided by mapping Data Source Objects (DSOs) to standard Cloud Information Model (CIM) DMOs? (Choose TWO)

Accepted Answer

Allows compatibility with pre-built starter bundles, calculated insights, and segmentation templates.. Harmonization to standard CIM DMOs enables pre-built segment templates, calculated insights compatibility, and cross-source profile unification.

Answer

Automatically deletes duplicate records in the external source system.

Answer

Replaces the need for batch data stream scheduling.

Answer

Eliminates the need to configure primary keys on custom DMOs.

Question 5

A business unit requires a segment to include individuals who have either browsed a product category or abandoned a cart, but explicitly exclude anyone who purchased in the last 7 days. Which Segment Canvas feature should be used?

Accepted Answer

Containers with include and exclude criteria steps. Segment Canvas supports containers with AND/OR logic and exclusion steps to refine audience membership accurately.

Answer

Data Stream filter criteria

Answer

Identity Resolution suppression lists

Answer

Calculated Insight dimensional filters

Question 6

A consultant needs to configure a Data Action Target that connects to an external REST API webhook. Which TWO configuration steps or security features should be implemented? (Choose two.)

Accepted Answer

Configure custom authorization headers or API keys required by the external endpoint.. Option C is correct because a Data Action Target that calls an external REST API webhook must supply whatever authentication the endpoint demands, typically via custom authorization headers (e.g., Bearer tokens) or API keys configured on the target's connection. Option E is correct because the webhook target requires a secure HTTPS URL that accepts the JSON payload Data Cloud posts, ensuring transport encryption and correct content handling. Options A, B, and D are incorrect: Case assignment rules are a Salesforce Core feature unrelated to Data Action Target webhook configuration, Parquet encryption keys apply to S3 data lake storage rather than REST webhook calls, and a 24-hour Data Stream ingestion batch interval is an ingestion setting that has no bearing on outbound webhook connectivity.

Answer

Map Salesforce Core Case assignment rules to the webhook payload.

Answer

Upload a Parquet encryption key for AWS S3 bucket storage.

Answer

Set the Data Stream ingestion batch refresh interval to 24 hours.

Question 7

An administrator needs to ingest customer service case history from a secondary Salesforce CRM org into the same Data Cloud tenant. How should the administrator accomplish this?

Accepted Answer

Configure an additional Salesforce CRM connector pointing to the secondary CRM org and set up a corresponding data stream.. Connecting multiple Salesforce CRM orgs is supported by adding multiple Salesforce CRM connectors in Data Cloud Setup, each pointing to a different CRM org.

Answer

Export cases from the secondary org via Data Loader and upload them as CSV files to Amazon S3.

Answer

Merge the secondary CRM org into the primary CRM org using Salesforce-to-Salesforce.

Answer

Use Marketing Cloud Connect to bridge the secondary CRM org into Data Cloud.

Question 8

A consultant has set up a Salesforce CRM data stream. The data stream shows a status of 'Error' due to an invalid field mapping. After correcting the mapping in the UI, what action should the consultant take to resume data flow?

Accepted Answer

Trigger a manual refresh or wait for the next scheduled ingestion run.. After fixing mapping or configuration errors on a data stream, the consultant can trigger a manual refresh or wait for the next scheduled run to resume ingestion.

Answer

Deactivate the Salesforce CRM connected app and regenerate all OAuth tokens.

Answer

Rebuild the entire Identity Resolution ruleset.

Answer

Export all DSO records to CSV and re-upload manually.

Question 9

Which THREE outcomes occur when source records are successfully matched and linked into a unified profile during Identity Resolution? Choose 3 options.

Accepted Answer

Reconciliation rules evaluate contributing records to populate the attributes on the Unified Individual profile.. Successful linking creates unified link records, populates the unified individual profile using reconciliation rules, and enables unified segmentation.

Answer

Core Salesforce CRM records are automatically overwritten and modified.

Answer

Source records are permanently deleted from the source data streams.

Question 10

An organization has configured a segment that includes a Calculated Insight metric. When the segment publishes, it completes successfully, but the resulting audience count is unexpectedly lower than expected. What is a recommended investigative step?

Accepted Answer

Review the Calculated Insight SQL query logic, aggregation filters, and date boundaries to ensure profiles are not being inadvertently filtered out.. When segment counts using CIs are lower than expected, the consultant should check the CI's publication status, verify the date ranges or aggregation filters in the CI SQL, and review the join conditions between the CI and the Individual DMO.

Answer

Change the activation target connector type.

Answer

Switch the segment type from batch to streaming.

Answer

Double the number of Data Streams in the tenant.
