Harmonization normalizes and enriches content, resulting in a single harmonized schema suited for consistent rendering in the Content Viewer. Access the viewer through Data 360's Data Explorer or in Service Cloud's Enterprise Knowledge component. ### Required Editions
Available in: All Editions supported by Data 360. See Data 360 edition availability.
The Harmonization dashboard contains a record of all harmonized content. From each record, you can view the harmonized content in the Content Viewer. Access the viewer in two ways: - **From Data 360:** View harmonized files with the Content Viewer in [Data 360's Data Explorer tab](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=data.c360_a_view_harmonized_content_consistently_in_data_explorer.htm&language=en_US&type=5). - **From the Service Console:** View Salesforce Knowledge in the Enterprise Knowledge component in your Service Console. With consistent harmonized content, service reps see relevant and full documents and can explore more content without leaving the Service Console. See [Get Started with Enterprise Knowledge (Beta)](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=service.knowledge_ek_about.htm&language=en_US&type=5) ## Billing Considerations Data Harmonization and rendering can affect credit [consumption](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=data.c360_a_unstructured_data_billing_considerations.htm&type=5&language=en_US) in these areas: - Data Pipeline and Ingestion: Data 360 calculates usage based on the number of records processed during every ingestion. For incremental ingestion, Data 360 only processes new or updated files. For Content Viewer engagement telemetry, events count as another data stream and as processed rows. - Data Harmonization and Processing: When you create or update a search index, Data 360 calculates usage based on the amount of data processed in megabytes. - Data Queries: Every search action against the index triggers a data query and counts as consumption. Every question in an Agentforce conversation that triggers a search counts as a data query. Every request to render a page counts as consumption. - Data Storage: These operations count toward storage: - File ingestion - Table creation, such as data lake object (DLO), data model object (DMO), harmonized DLO, harmonized DMO, and engagement telemetry DLO. - Chunk generation and index DMOs, which happens when you create a vector or hybrid index by using unstructured data. - The transcription DMO, if Data 360 processes audio and video files. - LLM gateway calls for AI enrichment, based on the number of tokens in the request and the response. Salesforce counts these calls as standard Flex credits or standard Einstein requests. The requests occur when the harmonized DMO (HDMO) sends files to an LLM for AI enrichment, specifically for generating Q&A summaries and FAQs. ## Supported Connectors You can enable the harmonization of content that is ingested into Data 360 through unstructured data connectors. - Structured Data Connectors - [CRM](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=data.c360_a_salesforce_crm_connector&language=en_US) - Unstructured Data Connectors - [GitHub](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/data/data-cloud-int/guide/c360-a-create-github-unstructured-data-stream.html) - [GitHub](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/data/data-cloud-int/guide/c360-a-create-github-unstructured-data-stream.html) - [Google Drive](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/data/data-cloud-int/guide/c360-a-googledrive-udlo.html) - [Guru](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/data/data-cloud-int/guide/c360-a-create-a-guru-unstructured-data-stream.html) - [Microsoft SharePoint](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/data/data-cloud-int/guide/c360-a-microsoftsharepoint-udlo.html) - [Web Content (Crawler)](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/data/data-cloud-int/guide/c360-a-create-crawler-udlo.html) - [Web Content (Sitemap)](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/data/data-cloud-int/guide/c360-a-create-sitemap-udlo.html) - [YouTube](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/data/data-cloud-int/guide/c360-a-create-youtube-unstructured-data-stream.html) - [Zendesk](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/data/data-cloud-int/guide/c360-a-create-zendesk-udlo.html) - [Amazon S3](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/data/data-cloud-int/guide/c360-a-awss3-connector) - [Azure Blob Storage](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/data/data-cloud-int/guide/c360-a-azureblob-connector.html) ## Limitations and Considerations See [Content Harmonization Known Limitations](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=data.c360_a_content_harmonization_known_limitations.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Certain functionalities aren't available for content harmonization.
