Question 75 - Certified Data Cloud Consultant discussion

The cause of this issue is that the new custom data model object (DMO) is not of category Profile. A category is a property of a DMO that defines its purpose and functionality in Data Cloud. There are three categories of DMOs: Profile, Event, and Other. Profile DMOs are used to store attributes of individuals or entities, such as name, email, address, etc. Event DMOs are used to store actions or interactions of individuals or entities, such as purchases, clicks, visits, etc. Other DMOs are used to store any other type of data that does not fit into the Profile or Event categories, such as products, locations, categories, etc. Only Profile DMOs can be used for creating segments in Data Cloud, as segments are based on the attributes of individuals or entities. Therefore, if the new custom DMO is not of category Profile, it will not appear in the segmentation canvas. The other options are not correct because they are not the cause of this issue. Data ingestion is not a prerequisite for creating segments, as segments can be created based on the data model schema without actual data. The new DMO does not need to have a relationship to the individual DMO, as segments can be created based on any Profile DMO, regardless of its relationship to other DMOs. Segmentation is not only supported for the Individual and Unified Individual DMOs, as segments can be created based on any Profile DMO, including custom ones.
