* Unified Profile: Creating a unified customer profile in Salesforce Data Cloud involves consolidating data from various sources.
* Reconciliation Rules: These rules determine which data source is considered the "best" when conflicting data is encountered. Changing reconciliation rules allows prioritizing specific sources.
* Source Priority: Setting source priority involves defining which data source should be preferred over others for specific attributes.
* Process:
Step 1: Access the Data Cloud settings for reconciliation rules.
Step 2: Select the Contact Point Address details.
Step 3: Change the reconciliation rules for address attributes to "Source Priority." Step 4: Move the Order DMO to the top of the priority list. This ensures that address details from customer orders are prioritized and selected as the best data to save to the unified profile.
* Benefits:
Accuracy: Ensures the most accurate and reliable address data is used in the unified profile.
Relevance: Gives priority to the most relevant and frequently updated source (customer orders).

* Data Deletion Requests: For companies using Salesforce Marketing Cloud and Data Cloud, managing data privacy and deletion requests is essential.
* Marketing Cloud Connector: This connector facilitates data integration between Marketing Cloud and Data Cloud, but data deletion requests must follow specific procedures.
* Deletion Requests in Marketing Cloud:
Data Management: Requests for data deletion or the right to be forgotten are submitted through Marketing Cloud settings, where the customer data is originally stored and managed.
Propagation: Once the request is processed in Marketing Cloud, the changes are propagated to Data Cloud through the connector.

The time zone that is used to publish and refresh data when performing segmentation or activation is D. Time zone set by the Salesforce Data Cloud org. This time zone is the one that is configured in the org settings when Data Cloud is provisioned, and it applies to all users and activities in Data Cloud. This time zone determines when the segments are scheduled to refresh and when the activations are scheduled to publish. Therefore, it is important to consider the time zone difference between the Data Cloud org and the destination systems or channels when planning the segmentation and activation strategies.

The Web and Mobile Application Connector allows you to ingest data from your websites and mobile apps into Data Cloud. To use this connector, you need to set up a Tenant Specific Endpoint (TSE) in Data Cloud, which is a unique URL that identifies your Data Cloud org. The TSE is auto-generated when you create a connector app in Data Cloud Setup. You can then use the TSE to configure the SDKs for your websites and mobile apps, which will send data to Data Cloud through the TSE.

* Introduction to Visual Insights Builder:
The Visual Insights Builder in Salesforce Data Cloud is a tool used to create calculated insights, which are custom metrics derived from the existing data.
Reference:
* Requirements for Creating Calculated Insights:
Measure: A measure is a quantitative value that you want to analyze, such as revenue, number of purchases, or total time spent on a platform.
Dimension: A dimension is a qualitative attribute that you use to categorize or filter the measures, such as date, region, or customer segment.
* Steps to Create a Calculated Insight:
Navigate to the Visual Insights Builder within Salesforce Data Cloud.
Select "Create New Insight" and choose the dataset.
Add at least one measure: This could be any metric you want to analyze, such as "Total Sales." Add at least one dimension: This helps to break down the measure, such as "Sales by Region."
* Practical Application:
Example: To create an insight on "Average Purchase Value by Region," you would need:
A measure: Total Purchase Value.
A dimension: Customer Region.
This allows for actionable insights, such as identifying high-performing regions.
