2.3 Configure Datasets

Foundation - Data Ingestion - Configure Datasets

In this exercise, you'll configure the required datasets to capture and store profile information and customer behavior. Every dataset that you create in this will use one of the schemas that you built in the previous step.

Story

After defining what the answer to the questions Who is this customer? and What does this customer do? should look like, you now need to create a bucket that uses that information, to receive and validate data that was sent to Adobe Experience Platform.

2.3.1 - Create Datasets

You now need to create 2 datasets:

  • 1 dataset to capture the information that answers the Who is this customer? - question.

  • 1 dataset to capture the information that answers the What does this customer do? - question.

Log in to Adobe Experience Platform by going to this URL: https://experience.adobe.com/platform.

After logging in, you'll land on the homepage of Adobe Experience Platform.

Let's give a name to your dataset.

As the name for our dataset, use this:

As an example, for ldap vangeluw, this should be the name of the schema:

vangeluw - Demo System - Profile Dataset for Website

That should give you something like this:
