[All Salesforce Certified Data Cloud Consultant Questions]

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.Reference:

I'm feeling a bit like a beauty company consultant myself right now, trying to figure out the best way to handle this data. But I have to say, I'm leaning towards the custom DMO approach as well. It just seems like the cleanest solution.

I'm with Dulce and Becky on this one. The custom DMO solution seems like the most robust and future-proof option. Plus, it gives us more flexibility to expand the data model as the client's needs evolve.

Hmm, I'm not sure about that, Serina. Creating custom fields on the standard Individual DMO could potentially cause conflicts or issues with future updates to the standard object. I think the custom DMO approach is the safest bet, even if it requires a bit more work upfront.

I'm not sure I agree. Creating a custom DMO from scratch seems like overkill, and duplicating the standard Individual DMO and adding fields could lead to maintenance issues down the line. I think the best option is to create custom fields on the standard Individual DMO.

I agree with Dulce. Creating a custom DMO with the additional fields is the most flexible approach. It allows us to maintain the standard Individual DMO while still accommodating the client's specific data requirements.

This question is testing our understanding of Salesforce's data model and how to extend it to fit the client's needs. I think the best approach would be to create a custom DMO with only the additional fields and map it to the standard Individual DMO. That way, we can keep the standard DMO intact and still add the necessary fields for segmentation and identity resolution.
