Cumulus Financial uses Data Cloud to segment banking customers and activate them for direct mail via a Cloud File Storage activation. The company also wants to analyze individuals who have been in the segment within the last 2 years.
Which Data Cloud component allows for this?
Correct Answer: D
Explanation
The segment membership data model object is a Data Cloud component that allows for analyzing individuals who have been in a segment within a certain time period. The segment membership data model object is a table that stores the information about which individuals belong to which segments and when they were added or removed from the segments. This object can be used to create calculated insights, such as segment size, segment duration, segment overlap, or segment retention, that can help measure the effectiveness of segmentation and activation strategies. The segment membership data model object can also be used to create nested segments or segment exclusions based on the segment membershipcriteria, such as segment name, segment type, or segment date range. The other options are not correct because they are not Data Cloud components that allow for analyzing individuals who have been in a segment within the last 2 years. Nested segments and segment exclusions are features that allow for creating more complex segments based on existing segments, but they do not provide the historical data about segment membership. Calculated insights are custom metrics or measures that are derived from data model objects or data lake objects, but they do not store the segment membership information by themselves.
