Time series profile event data

Time series profile event data is generated from the following events:

If you want to ingest your customer’s profile event data into the Experience Platform, you can update your existing Commerce schema and use the same datastream already configured, or you can create a profile-specific datastream and schema. That decision is based on your company’s data governance. The next two sections walk you through either case.

Send time series profile event data to Experience Platform using your existing datastream

If you want to add time series server-side profile event data to your existing Commerce datastream, add the Demographic Details field group to your schema. Your schema now contains the following Commerce-specific field groups:

  • Site Search
  • Visit Web Page
  • User Login Process
  • Reference Keys
  • Personal Contact Details
  • Channel Details
  • Commerce Details
  • Adobe Analytics ExperienceEvent Commerce (if you want to send data to Adobe Analytics)
  • New: Demographic Details

With the addition of the Demographic Details field group in your existing Commerce schema, the dataset and datastream already associated with your Commerce schema is used for this time series profile data.

Send time series profile event data to Experience Platform in a separate datastream

If you want to add server-side profile event data to a new profile-specific datastream and schema, complete the following steps.

  1. Create a schema and set the class to Experience Event.

  2. Add the following profile-specific field groups:

    • Demographic Details
    • Personal Contact Details
    • Channel Details
    • Commerce Details
  3. Enable the schema for Profile.

    When a schema is enabled for Profile, any datasets created from this schema participate in Real-Time CDP, which merges data from disparate sources to construct a complete view of each customer.

  4. Create a dataset based off the schema that you created.

    A dataset is a storage and management construct for a collection of data, typically a table that contains a schema (columns) and fields (rows). Datasets also contain metadata that describes various aspects of the data they store.

  5. Create a datastream and select the XDM schema that contains the Commerce-specific field groups and the corresponding dataset.

    The datastream forwards the collected data to the dataset. The data is represented in the dataset based on the selected schema.

With the schemas, datasets, and datastreams configured for customer profile data, you can configure your Commerce instance to collect and send that data to Experience Platform.

To create a schema, dataset, and datastream for profile record data, see send profile record data to the Experience Platform.
