An administrator has configured Identity Resolution with multiple match rules (e.g., Email match and Phone match). After running the ruleset, some profiles are merged incorrectly, combining distinct individuals who share a phone number. How should the administrator adjust the configuration?

A.Disable Identity Resolution permanently and rely solely on Calculated Insights for deduplication.
B.Write an Apex trigger on the Unified Customer object to split merged profiles.
C.Delete the Unified Individual DMO and recreate the entire Data Cloud tenant.
D.Refine the match rules or adjust rule precedence to require stronger combinations of identifiers rather than relying on a single weak identifier.
AnswerD

Refining match rules prevents overly aggressive matching by ensuring rules use robust criteria (e.g., first name + last name + email) rather than a single shared attribute.

Why this answer

Identity resolution match rules must be carefully tuned. If rules are too broad (like matching solely on phone numbers where numbers are shared), administrators should refine the match rules or add filter conditions/precedence.

An enterprise is running multiple batch segments that refresh daily. Due to downstream dependency requirements, Segment B must only evaluate after Segment A has finished its publishing run. How should the consultant orchestrate this dependency in Data Cloud?

A.Merge Segment A and Segment B into a single segment using an exclusion container.
B.Set Segment B's refresh schedule to run a few hours after Segment A's scheduled start time, or use orchestration features tied to segment publish completion.
C.Write a Flow in Salesforce CRM that monitors Data Cloud logs and calls the Data Cloud REST API to start Segment B.
D.Configure Segment B with an activation that triggers automatically upon the completion of Segment A's publication.
AnswerB

Managing execution timing via scheduled intervals or leveraging segment publication completion events ensures dependent segments or activations process in the correct sequence.

Why this answer

Data Cloud supports segment orchestration and scheduling. To ensure Segment B runs after Segment A, the consultant can configure segment scheduling or use orchestration tools like Data Cloud triggers / Data Actions, or sequence the batch refresh schedules appropriately, keeping in mind that dependent activation schedules can be triggered upon segment publish completion.
