Consider these best practices and troubleshooting tips for the data you bring in and send out of Data 360 to get the most of your unified profiles.
Review Source Data
Note Complete all required mappings for identity resolution before getting started.
Verify that data ingestion and modeling from your source data to Data 360 was successful.
| Question to Consider | How to Verify |
|---|---|
| Did all the data from my data stream make it into Data 360? | Use the Summary by Source Calculated Insight to make sure it matches your expectations. |
| Are all my data mappings correct? |
Go to Data Explorer to review your Data Lake Objects (DLOs) and Data Model Objects (DMOs) for accurate values on key fields. Review mappings for important objects in Data Streams and check for warnings. |
| Does the Account DMO or Individual DMO have the expected fields and field values? | Go to Data Explorer to review the data model object's data. |
Review Summary Statistics and Unified Profiles
Verify that summary statistics and unified profiles make sense based on your source data after creating your ruleset.
| Question to Consider | How to Verify |
|---|---|
| Does the consolidation rate make sense for your data source? | Check the consolidation rate for your ruleset against what you know about how clean your data sources are. You can review the consolidation rate in the Identity Resolution Summary, using the Identity Resolution Tableau Dashboard, or by creating a calculated insight. |
| Do your unified profiles have the expected information? | Use the Profile Explorer or the Identity Resolution Tableau Dashboard to review random unified profiles for accurate values. |
