Sample questions
Three questions from the AD0-E563 practice bank, with the answer and why each option is right or wrong.
Question 1
A building products company is planning its first operational program in Adobe Marketo Engage, one that standardizes incoming data such as country and job title values. The project plan must name the support for the build so that the data management strategy holds. Which support should the plan name?
- A. The analytics team, who build the reports once the standardized data arrives
- B. The legal team, who approve the privacy notices on the company's forms
- C. The email deliverability lead, who owns the sending domains and bounce handling
- D. The sales operations and CRM teams, who help determine the data management strategy
Answer: D. Each milestone in the sample timeline names the resources it needs. Standardizing incoming data rests on a data management strategy, which the Sales Ops and CRM teams help determine. [2]
- A. Wrong. Adobe's implementation planning tutorial names the Sales Ops and CRM teams as the support for the program that standardizes incoming data.
- B. Wrong. The tutorial names the Sales Ops and CRM teams for this program, not legal.
- C. Wrong. The tutorial names the Sales Ops and CRM teams for the data standardization program. Deliverability is a separate setup task.
- D. Right. Adobe's implementation planning tutorial lists support from the Sales Ops and CRM teams to determine a data management strategy as the resource for the program that standardizes incoming data.
Question 2
A medical company is adding a warranty platform that exports a CSV file of warranty records each week for its approved Warranty custom object. The first file is 140 MB, and its Expiry column holds values such as 'end of June' against a date field. The administrator plans to load it with Import Custom Object Data. Which plan should the architect give the administrator?
- A. Load the file whole, since the size limit is 1 GB, and convert the Expiry values to dates first
- B. Split the file to stay within the 100MB limit, and load the Expiry values as they are
- C. Load the file whole, since the size limit is 1 GB, and load the Expiry values as they are
- D. Split the file to stay within the 100MB limit, and convert the Expiry values to dates first
Answer: D. Two checks come before a custom object file goes in. The file stays within 100MB, and every column holds values of the type of the field it maps to, because a value of the wrong type rejects the whole file. [3]
- A. Wrong. The import page gives a size limit of 100MB for custom objects, so a 140 MB file has to be split.
- B. Wrong. The import page says the values in the file must match the type of the field they map to, otherwise the file is rejected. Text such as 'end of June' in a date field rejects the file.
- C. Wrong. The size limit for custom objects is 100MB, and values that do not match the field type reject the file. Both parts of this plan fail.
- D. Right. The import page gives a size limit of 100MB for custom objects and says values must match the type of the field they map to, otherwise the file is rejected.
Question 3
A medical company records its lead lifecycle as program statuses in one Adobe Marketo Engage operational program. Sales now wants to return about 1,200 leads a month from MQL to an earlier Recycled stage, and the current build cannot do it. Which design should the architect recommend?
- A. Keep the lifecycle in program statuses, and have sales set the status back to Recycled from the CRM
- B. Move the lifecycle into Person Status, set by trigger campaigns, and keep program statuses for progression
- C. Keep the lifecycle in program statuses, and add Recycled at a higher step so the move counts as forward
- D. Keep the lifecycle in program statuses, and have a trigger campaign run Change Program Status to set Recycled
Answer: B. Program statuses only move forward, so a lifecycle that must send people back to an earlier stage cannot live there. Adobe's marketing activities checklist keeps the lifecycle in Person Status, updated by campaigns, and program statuses keep their job of tracking progression inside one program. [4]
- A. Wrong. Adobe's program membership page says a person cannot move backwards to an earlier program status, since status progression is one way only. Who sets the status does not change that.
- B. Right. Adobe's program membership page says a person cannot move backwards to an earlier program status. Adobe's marketing activities checklist moves leads through the lead lifecycle by updating the values for Person Status, starting from a Lead Management program in the Marketo Program Library.
- C. Wrong. A higher step makes Recycled a later stage. From there the person can never return to MQL, because Adobe's program membership page says status progression is one way only.
- D. Wrong. The Change Program Status flow step still sets a program status, and Adobe's program membership page says a person cannot move backwards to an earlier one.
