Question #: 57
Topic #: 1

[All ANC-301 Questions]

A CRM Analytics administrator is working on deploying a dashboard and a dataset from a developer sandbox to a full sandbox. They have deployed the dataset via change set and manually copy-pasted the dashboard JSON into the target org. However, they notice that the conditional formatting and the widget-specific number formats have been lost in the target environment.

What is causing this issue?

AAnalytics Dataset XMD was NOT included as part of the deployment package,

BThe recipe that generated the dataset also needs to be included as part of the package.

CAnalytics Dashboard XMD was NOT included as part of the deployment package.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

When deploying a dataset and dashboard between environments in CRM Analytics, it's essential to include the Extended Metadata (XMD) file, which controls aspects such as conditional formatting and number formatting. In this case, the administrator manually copied the dashboard JSON but did not deploy the Analytics Dataset XMD, which leads to the loss of conditional formatting and widget-specific number formats in the target environment. Including the XMD ensures that all formatting and metadata are transferred correctly.

I think it’s more about the Dashboard XMD being left out.

The recipe should be included too, right? Just to be safe!

Wait, can’t they just fix that in the target org? Seems odd.

I’m a bit confused, but I thought the dataset and dashboard were supposed to be packaged together. Did we cover that in our study sessions?

I feel like the dashboard XMD could be the issue here since we manually copied the JSON. That sounds familiar.

I’m not entirely sure, but I think the recipe might need to be included too, like in that practice question we did last week.

I remember something about XMDs being crucial for formatting, so maybe the Analytics Dataset XMD was left out?

I'm pretty confident I know the answer to this one. The issue is that the Analytics Dashboard XMD was not included in the deployment package.

Okay, I think I've got this. The key is making sure to include the XMD files for both the dataset and the dashboard in the deployment package.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused on the difference between the dataset and dashboard deployment. I'll need to review the details on that.

This looks like a tricky one. I'll need to think through the different deployment steps carefully.
