Exam Outline

💡 In Notion, convert each domain row into a toggle to nest your study notes underneath.

Suggested Study Path

1. Review the core architecture by contrasting the JSON-based Dataflow nodes (augment, flatten, digest) with the visual ETL capabilities of Data Prep Recipes.
2. Master the security model by practicing the implementation of row-level security through Security Predicates that reference User Attribute fields.
3. Get hands-on with SAQL to understand how to manually edit dashboard JSON for advanced filtering logic that standard faceting cannot handle.
4. Complete the Superbadges specifically the CRM Analytics Specialist and Einstein Discovery Story Design badges to validate your readiness.
5. Study the Einstein Discovery lifecycle from selecting an outcome variable to interpreting the GINI coefficient and deploying the model to production.
6. Simulate a deployment by using Change Sets or the CLI to move apps and datasets, paying close attention to which elements do not migrate automatically.

⚠️ Watch Out For – Currency conversion logic: Remember that currency values usually display in the Integration User currency unless specific conversion logic is applied.

• Big Object limitations: Be aware that incremental data sync is not supported for Salesforce Big Objects, which can impact performance for large datasets.
• Sharing Inheritance boundaries: Don’t assume it works for every object; know the limits and when you must fallback to a manual Security Predicate.
• Mobile Layout hierarchy: Understand how the system selects a layout when multiple are eligible—it’s often based on the most device properties set.
• SAQL syntax nuances: Watch out for the specific clauses like foreach, group, and limit that appear in the exam’s code-snippet questions.
