Data 360 Consultant Setup And Administration Practice Question
An administrator has added a new custom field to a Data Model Object (DMO) in Data Cloud. However, users are complaining that they cannot see the new field when building segments. What is the likely cause?
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
The field must also be mapped from a Data Source Object (DSO) to the DMO field for data to populate.
After modifying a DMO or mapping, administrators must ensure the field is mapped properly and that users have the correct field-level security or permission set updates if applicable. Also, segments rely on mapped fields in Data Model Objects.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Calculated insights must be rebuilt before a DMO field is available for segmentation.
Why it's wrong here
Calculated insights are not required for standard DMO field availability in segmentation.
- ✓
The field must also be mapped from a Data Source Object (DSO) to the DMO field for data to populate.
Why this is correct
Creating a field on a DMO is only the first step; data will not flow into it until the corresponding DSO field is mapped to the new DMO field.
- ✗
Data Cloud requires a manual restart of the segment job engine to recognize schema changes.
Why it's wrong here
Segment engines update dynamically and do not require manual restarts for schema changes.
- ✗
The custom field must be explicitly added to the Identity Resolution ruleset configuration.
Why it's wrong here
Identity resolution rulesets only use specific match keys, not every custom field added to a DMO.
