 To clear inactive data stored in data extensions after 12 months, NTO should apply a row-based retention to each data extension as it is created, set to 12 months. This will delete any records that have not been modified in the last 12 months. Row-based retention can be applied to individual data extensions or data extension templates

To monitor whether all records are being added to the target data structure each day in a scenario like that of Northern Trail Outfitters (NTO), the feature "Run Completion" within the File Drop Automation is most relevant. This feature allows the admin to check the status and results of the file drop automation, which includes verifying if the automation successfully completed and how many records were processed and added to the data extension. Using this feature, NTO can monitor daily imports and identify any discrepancies in the number of records processed, which could explain why fewer subscribers than expected are being sent emails.

To effectively set up a welcome journey leveraging customer data across multiple data extensions in Contact Builder:

Single Attribute Group: Create one cohesive Attribute Group that interlinks Customers to Contacts, Orders to Customers, and Products to Orders. This setup ensures a streamlined data flow and relational integrity, crucial for targeting and personalization within the journey.

Data Relationships: This configuration facilitates the use of data across different stages of customer interaction—from acquisition through orders to product preferences—enabling more personalized journey experiences.

To facilitate the replication of journey structures across different business units, use:

Journey Templates: This feature allows administrators to create templates from existing journeys, which can then be used to set up similar journeys in other business units. It provides a standardized approach to journey creation, reducing setup time and ensuring consistency in campaign execution.

Utilization: Create a template from an existing journey within the Journey Builder, then import and customize this template in another business unit as needed.

C. A journey can be connected to one or more campaigns: This functionality supports the integration of Distributed Marketing journeys with multiple campaigns, enhancing targeting and segmentation capabilities.

E. Messages can be sent to Contacts, Leads, and Person Accounts: Distributed Marketing allows sending messages to a diverse range of recipient types, which expands the flexibility and reach of marketing efforts.

To efficiently manage limited licenses and ensure continuity in campaign management while the campaign manager is on parental leave:

Deactivate the Existing User: Temporarily deactivate the campaign manager's user account. This action frees up a license without deleting the user's historical data or settings.

When incorporating custom brand fonts into emails for Northern Trail Outfitters:

Web-safe Fonts: It's recommended to use web-safe fonts in emails to ensure consistent rendering across different email clients. Custom fonts are often not supported by many email clients, which can lead to inconsistent branding and user experience.

Font Selection: Choose a web-safe font that closely resembles the custom brand font to maintain the brand's visual identity while ensuring the email content is accessible and readable across all platforms.

To limit the distribution of Marketing Cloud tracking data via email to only those within the ntoretail.com domain:

Add a Domain to the Export Email Whitelist: Configure the settings to include 'ntoretail.com' in the export email whitelist. This ensures that only email addresses from this domain can receive exported data.

Enforce Export Email Whitelist: Activate this setting to strictly enforce the whitelist during data exports, preventing any non-whitelisted domains from receiving tracking data.

A. One-to-Many Relationship: This type of relationship is appropriate when a single contact can have multiple demographic records. It helps to manage and utilize demographic data effectively within personalized marketing campaigns.

This relationship type supports efficient data management and targeting by allowing multiple demographic attributes for a single contact within the marketing database.
