Let's review the high-level steps we cover in this guide.

## Configure Users and Install Data Bundles

Set up Data Cloud users, add the appropriate permission sets, and then install data bundles.

## Ingest and Map Data

Use a starter data bundle to create a data stream for Leads. Then map required fields for Identity Resolution.

## Unify Sales Data with Identity Resolution

Link multiple sources of data into a unified profile using an identity resolution ruleset that contains match and reconciliation rules based on the Individual data model object. Then view the profile in Profile Explorer.

## Analyze Sales Data with Calculated Insights

Create a calculated insight, Unified Individual Counts by Sales Object, and then view it in Data Explorer.
