A streaming insight is a type of insight that analyzes streaming data in real time and triggers actions based on predefined conditions. A data action is a type of action that executes a flow, a data action target, or a data action script when an insight is triggered. By using a streaming insight paired with a data action, a consultant can accommodate Cumulus Financial’s request to track the daily transaction volume of each customer and send out a notification when the volume is outside the normal range. A calculated insight is a type of insight that performs calculations on data in a data space and stores the results in a data extension. A streaming data transform is a type of data transform that applies transformations to streaming data in real time and stores the results in a data extension. A flow is a type of automation that executes a series of actions when triggered by an event, a schedule, or another flow. None of these options can achieve the same functionality as a streaming insight paired with a data action. References: Use Insights in Data Cloud Unit, Streaming Insights and Data Actions Use Cases, Streaming Insights and Data Actions Limits and Behaviors

Field Data Types: Salesforce CRM's Contact object fields can store data in various formats. When ingesting data into Salesforce Data Cloud, the target field's data type determines how the data is processed and stored.

Date Data Type: If the target field in Data Cloud is set to Date data type, it is designed to store date values without time information.

Mixed Format Values: When ingesting a field containing both date (yyyy-mm-dd) and datetime (yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss) values into a Date data type field:

The Date field will extract and store only the date part (yyyy-mm-dd), ignoring the time part (hh:mm:ss).

Result:

Date Values: yyyy-mm-dd values are stored as-is.

Datetime Values: yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss values are truncated to yyyy-mm-dd, and the time component is ignored.

The correct answer is B and C because calculated insights and segments are both dependent on the data ingestion process. Calculated insights are derived from the data model objects and segments are subsets of data model objects that meet certain criteria. Therefore, both of them need to be updated after the data is ingested to reflect the latest changes. Data transformations are optional steps that can be applied to the data streams before they are mapped to the data model objects, so they are not relevant to the issue. Reviewing calculated insights to make sure they’re run after the segments are refreshed (option D) is also incorrect because calculated insights are independent of segments and do not need to be refreshed after them. References: Salesforce Data Cloud Consultant Exam Guide, Data Ingestion and Modeling, Calculated Insights, Segments

The data model subject area that should be used for any Organization, Individual, or Member in the Customer 360 data model is the Party subject area. The Party subject area defines the entities that are involved in any business transaction or relationship, such as customers, prospects, partners, suppliers, etc. The Party subject area contains the following data model objects (DMOs):

Organization: A DMO that represents a legal entity or a business unit, such as a company, a department, a branch, etc.

Individual: A DMO that represents a person, such as a customer, a contact, a user, etc.

Member: A DMO that represents the relationship between an individual and an organization, such as an employee, a customer, a partner, etc.

The other options are not data model subject areas that should be used for any Organization, Individual, or Member in the Customer 360 data model. The Engagement subject area defines the actions that people take, such as clicks, views, purchases, etc. The Membership subject area defines the associations that people have with groups, such as loyalty programs, clubs, communities, etc. The Global Account subject area defines the hierarchical relationships between organizations, such as parent-child, subsidiary, etc.
