Quiz #2: All about Admin/Maintenance Pt 1 - User Roles, Permissions and Workspaces

  1. Marketer ABC is starting a new job and will work closely with the platform manager at Company XYZ. Marketer DEF is setting up the user role for the new employee. The main responsibilities for ABC will be building email campaigns, landing pages, and other related programs. Which role  should DEF provide for ABC?
    1. Admin
    2. Standard User
    3. Web Designer
    4. Analytics User
  2. A marketer needs to assess their field mapping in marketo. They want to determine which fields exist and which are blocked for updates. Which role does the user need in order to access this type of information?
    1. Marketing User
    2. Standard User
    3. Analytics User
    4. Admin
  3. True or false: You can select which permissions are allowed when you create or edit a role. 
  4. Company X is just getting started in Marketo. They have multiple products that they sell. The 4 products are different but there is an opportunity to cross-sell to their audiences using shared assets such as images and emails. They are mapping out the setup of their instance and wondering what the best setup is for them. They think Workspaces will be the best fit for their situation. True or false: They should set up their instance into 4 separate workspaces.
  5. Which combination of assets cannot be shared across workspaces?
    1. Email Templates, Emails, Landing Page Templates, Smart lists
    2. Landing Page Templates, Email Templates, Snippets, Models
    3. Email Templates, Snippets, Smart Lists, Segmentations
    4. Smart Lists, Smart Campaigns, Snippets, Segmentation

Fun fact: While you can edit some of the roles, you cannot edit all of them. You are unable to edit Admin and Standard User Roles. If you have a unique use case for another type of user, you can create a new role entirely. 

 

Pro Tip: Find out if your company has a policy/procedure in place for assessing user roles and permissions. There should be at minimum a policy in place to remove users from the instance after a separation (resignation, layoff, etc.) If there isn’t a policy, propose one for brownie points with your boss/HR.

 

Try your best to answer without any extra help! That way we can accurately assess where you are and what you may need extra help with, it's ok to not know everything. 

We'll discuss these answers on Monday. I have the next quiz ready too so I will post that earlier next week so we can squeeze in 2 quizzes for extra test prep! Have a great weekend.

Hi Ashleigh,

This quiz is really great as it's both to the point & also tricky in term of the interpretation of the feature. Thanks for provide this.

 

  1. Marketer ABC is starting a new job and will work closely with the platform manager at Company XYZ. Marketer DEF is setting up the user role for the new employee. The main responsibilities for ABC will be building email campaigns, landing pages, and other related programs. Which role  should DEF provide for ABC?   
    1. Admin
    2. Standard User - This user role have access to all parts of Marketo except Admin section
    3. Web Designer
    4. Analytics User
  2. A marketer needs to assess their field mapping in marketo. They want to determine which fields exist and which are blocked for updates. Which role does the user need in order to access this type of information?
    1. Marketing User
    2. Standard User
    3. Analytics User
    4. Admin - Field management is part of the Admin Section of Marketo, so anything related to this need to have Admin access.
  3. True or false: You can select which permissions are allowed when you create or edit a role.  TRUE
  4. Company X is just getting started in Marketo. They have multiple products that they sell. The 4 products are different but there is an opportunity to cross-sell to their audiences using shared assets such as images and emails. They are mapping out the setup of their instance and wondering what the best setup is for them. They think Workspaces will be the best fit for their situation. True or false: They should set up their instance into 4 separate workspaces. TRUE -  Images can be shared across workspaces by putting them in Default folder & Emails by cloning as local assets. 
  5. Which combination of assets cannot be shared across workspaces? - CAN NOT UNDERSTAND THIS QUESTION AS ALL 4 COMBINATIONS CAN BE SHARED ACCROSS WORKSPACES.
    1. Email Templates, Emails, Landing Page Templates, Smart lists

Happy Monday Everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. If you have not answered the quiz yet, please head over to that here and drop your answers. Remember, there will be prizes for engagement and quiz answers! Once you have completed the quiz, come back to this post for the answers and more information on the topic. 😁 

 

 

Here are the answers to Quiz #2: All about Admin/Maintenance pt 1 - User roles and permissions.

  1. B - Standard User
  2. D - Admin 
  3. True - You can select the permissions for the roles that you can create and edit. Remember that you cannot modify Admin or standard user. 
  4. False - They want to share assets across multiple products so this would not be the best option for them. 
  5. A - Email Templates, Emails, Landing Page Templates, Smart lists: This one is very tricky, on purpose. There are quite a few combinations of assets that can be shared and quite a few combinations of assets that can be cloned. It is very important to know the difference between what can be shared and what can be cloned. The test is designed to be tricky like this question.

I'm sorry that I made it tricky but I want you all to be prepared for the exam because it is designed similarly. It looks like the last one tripped up the majority here so I am sharing more information below on the topics of sharing vs. cloning across workspaces. It's important to remember that Sharing and Cloning are different actions, that is the distinction in that last question.

 

Sharing across workspaces:

  • You can share: Email Templates, Landing page templates, Models, Smart Campaigns, Smart Lists, Segmentations, Snippets (7 items)
  • Only assets in the parent folder can be shared, not child folders. 
  • To share a folder you can right click, click share folder and then select the workspaces that the folder should be shared with. 

Cloning across workspaces: 

  • Programs, Emails, Landing Pages, Forms (4) items
  • Clone assets as local assets inside of a program. 
  • You can drag and drop assets into another workspace (if you have appropriate access)
  • If you are cloning an asset that has a template, you must share the template within the workspace that you are cloning to. 

Important note: If a program contains members you cannot move this program to another workspace. 

 

Use case for workspaces: Marketing assets do not overlap/are entirely different among the spaces. One of the most common use cases is for region: North America, EMEA, APAC, etc. 

 

Another related topic: Person Partitions - These are essentially separate databases for your leads. They do not interact with each other, meaning there is no de-duping between them and there can be overlap among the partitions. Example, I could sign up for Company A communications and Company B communications. These 2 companies could be owned by the same parent company, but operate with separate partitions. Therefore, I could receive marketing communications from both because I would exist in both of their "databases" if that is how the company has the partition set up.

  • There are 3 different configurations for partitions. 
    • 1 to 1 (one person partition to one workspace)
    • 1 to many ( one workspace to many person partitions)
    • many to 1 (Many workspaces to one person partition)

For more on workspaces and partitions, you can read this experience league doc by Adobe.

Hi Ashleigh,

Apologies for the late introduction. My name is Rahul Sharma (rahulsh), working as a Assistant Marketing Automation Manager with more than 5 years of Marketo working experience. I have cleared MCE exam back in 2019 but missed to renew it, so will try to clear the exam this year. 

I am really excited to be mapped under you and be a part of very talented group for my preparation for the "Adobe Marketo Engage Business Practitioner Expert ".

I am looking forward to learn Marketo not just for clearing the Certification exam but also to evolve as a Marketo expert and a top leader for my company when it comes to Marketo knowledge, will focus more on Marketo Admin in future.

Hi @ashleighmo1 ,

 

As we approach the last leg of the Mentorship program, i will like to ask you if you could provide us with some high level understanding on Marketo CRM Integration.

Some points i will like to have a broad understanding will be:

  • How the integration with SFDC & Dynamics work.
  • What field can be & should be mapped.
  • How marketo campaigns be synced between SFDC/Dynamics.
  • How Marketo custom fields are mapped in CRM.

I will also request others to add to this if you feel.

TIA.

I would also like to better understand the integration with Dynamics for Marketo, as my experience has only been in Salesforce. Is it fair, at a high overview, to view it similar as how SFDC works with Marketo?

 

Thanks!

Happy Monday, I am going to post a few quizzes this week (possibly all of them today) to make sure all of the content for the exam prep is covered before we end the program. I will post the answers by mid-end of week to give everyone time to review. I know the expectation is that next week everyone would be taking their exams and/or reviewing final materials, then we have the rewards! Do you all have an exam scheduled yet? Curious to hear.

 

Quiz #4: All about personalization / tokens - Marketing Activities

 

  1. A token is set up as follows:{{lead.Company Name:default=Your Company}} What is the purpose of the “default=” value in a token? 
    1. Serves as a reminder to fill in the required information manually
    2. It will display exactly as written when rendering in an asset “Default=YourCompany”
    3. It will display a unique value for each lead depending on the information in that field
    4. It will display the same value for each lead based on the value after the equal sign if there is no value in the tokenized field.
  2. Where can a token be used in an email? Select all that apply
    1. Body Copy
    2. From Email Address
    3. From Name
    4. Subject Line
  3. True or false: A token can be used anywhere in an email using Marketo’s Email Builder
  4. Marketer ABC is creating an event program for a webinar their company is hosting next month via a third party platform. Marketer ABC is trying to decide which token is the appropriate one to use to deliver a unique URL to each registrant to join the webinar. Which token is the correct one to use for this situation?
    1. {{my.Webinar URL}}
    2. {{member.Webinar URL}}
    3. {{program.Webinar URL}}
    4. {{lead.Webinar URL}}
  5. My Tokens can be utilized when sending an email from Sales insight on either Microsoft Dynamics or Salesforce. True or false

Fun fact: There is a naming structure for where tokens are created. 

Local Token: created in that program or folder (token is local to the program)

Inherited Token: Token created up the tree in a higher level program or folder

Overridden Token: Inherited and someone made an exception in the program or folder

You can create global variables (tokens) and then override them at lower levels in the tree.

Because of this, make sure that references to tokens are not broken when you are moving programs and folders.

Hi All! @mktoMacaque,  @rahulsh , @SyedHasan , @uditmathur , @ggerla , @stevenchung87 , @Brenda_1040  , @kpsingh 

I hope you all enjoyed the holiday last week (if your country/company celebrates). 

 

Answers for Quiz #4 and Quiz #5 are as follows..

 

Quiz #4 Answers:

  1. D - same value for each lead based on the value after the equal sign. Ex.) For a token ( {{lead.Company Name:default=Your Company}} ) - If the company name field is left blank for a record, then the value that would display when rendered is " Your Company" 
  2. A,B,C,D (All answers)
  3. False - a token cannot be used in the preheader of an email unless you use your own HTML in an email template.
  4. B Member.Webinar URL - Member tokens are used to insert unique values from third parties such as On24, etc. These are generated by the service provider, not marketo.
  5. False - My tokens will not populate on emails sent this way. However, Standard tokens can be utilized here. Default values for tokens will work in these scenarios. 

Answers Quiz #5: 

  1. True - create a smart campaign with your desired audience or use the control panel of an email blast. A smart campaign can provide more flexibility because you can utilize flow steps such as wait, request a campaign, etc. 
  2. False - That is a smart list. A static list means that the list is unchanging. You upload a list or add people to the list via a smart campaign and they remain there. There is no fluctuation in the list. 
  3. C - The filter in the smart list is incorrect. Since it was an in person event and there were no integrations (such as splash) mentioned, we have to assume that the leads would be uploaded into marketo to a static list. 
  4. D - Event, Default, Email, Engagement. 
    1. Some people use the word nurture interchangeably with engagement but the official name in marketo is engagement program. Social media and webinar are not program types, but could be channel types.

Hi @ashleighmo1 ,

 

Quiz 4 was indeed a very tricky quiz.

I am sure we all were bowled on both question 1 & 4. Thank you for such questions, this clearly helps in understanding the importance of reading & understanding the options very carefully.

For Q4 although Preheader is not exactly in email editor but its definitely a part of Email setting.

Hello aspirants! 

It is crazy to think that the program is ending. The run dates for the program are: May 17th , 2024 – June 21st, 2024.  I will do some final wrap up for an extra week this week since I feel like there is still so much to cover.

  1.  Please take the practice exam if you have not taken this yet: app.rockinfo.com/courses/144  - record your areas of strength and weakness. Then ask any final specific questions.
  2. I compiled a list of all of the topics requested by you all throughout the program. I will be posting information or quiz questions on the remaining topics requested. 
    1. Topics covered in the threads so far: CRM Integrations, Audit Trail, User Roles and Permissions, workspaces, system managed fields, syncing, personalization/tokens,  Segmentation, Engagement programs, Marketing Activities, smart campaigns, lists
  3. After I have posted all final quiz questions I will combine them all in a separate thread that way they are easy to sift through with all answers at the bottom.

Quiz #2: All about Admin/Maintenance Pt 1 - User Roles, Permissions and Workspaces

  1. Marketer ABC is starting a new job and will work closely with the platform manager at Company XYZ. Marketer DEF is setting up the user role for the new employee. The main responsibilities for ABC will be building email campaigns, landing pages, and other related programs. Which role  should DEF provide for ABC?
    1. Admin
    2. Standard User
    3. Web Designer
    4. Analytics User
  2. A marketer needs to assess their field mapping in marketo. They want to determine which fields exist and which are blocked for updates. Which role does the user need in order to access this type of information?
    1. Marketing User
    2. Standard User
    3. Analytics User
    4. Admin
  3. True or false: You can select which permissions are allowed when you create or edit a role. 
  4. Company X is just getting started in Marketo. They have multiple products that they sell. The 4 products are different but there is an opportunity to cross-sell to their audiences using shared assets such as images and emails. They are mapping out the setup of their instance and wondering what the best setup is for them. They think Workspaces will be the best fit for their situation. True or false: They should set up their instance into 4 separate workspaces.
  5. Which combination of assets cannot be shared across workspaces?
    1. Email Templates, Emails, Landing Page Templates, Smart lists
    2. Landing Page Templates, Email Templates, Snippets, Models
    3. Email Templates, Snippets, Smart Lists, Segmentations
    4. Smart Lists, Smart Campaigns, Snippets, Segmentation

Fun fact: While you can edit some of the roles, you cannot edit all of them. You are unable to edit Admin and Standard User Roles. If you have a unique use case for another type of user, you can create a new role entirely. 

 

Pro Tip: Find out if your company has a policy/procedure in place for assessing user roles and permissions. There should be at minimum a policy in place to remove users from the instance after a separation (resignation, layoff, etc.) If there isn’t a policy, propose one for brownie points with your boss/HR.

 

Quiz #3 All about Admin/Maintenance pt 2 - System Managed Fields, Syncing, Audit Trail

    3. Related Smart Campaigns
    4. Database Tab
  3. While analyzing lead data in Microsoft Dynamics Marketer XYZ noticed an error in the leads record. The Marketer has updated the field to correct the data. The newest member of the team is asking Marketer XYZ if the lead information will sync back to Marketo automatically.

  4. In Salesforce, there are 3 possible values for SFDC Type. Which combination is correct?
    1. Lead, Contact, Empty
    2. Lead, Partner, Contact

    3. {{program.Webinar URL}}
    4. {{lead.Webinar URL}}
  5. My Tokens can be utilized when sending an email from Sales insight on either Microsoft Dynamics or Salesforce. True or false

Fun fact: There is a naming structure for where tokens are created. 

Local Token: created in that program or folder (token is local to the program)

Inherited Token: Token created up the tree in a higher level program or folder

Overridden Token: Inherited and someone made an exception in the program or folder

You can create global variables (tokens) and then override them at lower levels in the tree.

Quiz Answers: 

 

Quiz #1 Answers: 

  1. B - 2000 (Default exists under each segmentation for anyone that does not meet the listed criteria so they will still be included).
    2. D - Database (You can navigate to the database section of marketo to view and create segmentations)
  2. C - 20 (While you can only have up to 20 segmentations you can have up to 100 segments).
    4. Use case: Dynamic content, etc.
    5. False - they cannot exist in more than 1 segment but they CAN exist in more than 1 segmentation. Ex.) Lead A has job level: VP and Region AMER. Lead A can exist in both job level and region segmentations. However, this lead cannot exist in 2 segments underneath 1 of the segmentations. If Lead A had both EMEA and AMER listed for their region (maybe they do business in both countries or something for the purpose of this example), then Lead A would only reside in the first segment they qualify for underneath the region segmentation (Let's say the order is AMER, APAC, EMEA, Lead A would only qualify for AMER).

 

Quiz #2 Answers: All about Admin/Maintenance pt 1 - User roles and permissions.

  1. B - Standard User
  2. D - Admin 
  3. True - You can select the permissions for the roles that you can create and edit. Remember that you cannot modify Admin or standard user. 
  4. False - They want to share assets across multiple products so this would not be the best option for them. 
  5. A - Email Templates, Emails, Landing Page Templates, Smart lists: This one is very tricky, on purpose. There are quite a few combinations of assets that can be shared and quite a few combinations of assets that can be cloned. It is very important to know the difference between what can be shared and what can be cloned. The test is designed to be tricky like this question.

Sharing across workspaces:

  • You can share: Email Templates, Landing page templates, Models, Smart Campaigns, Smart Lists, Segmentations, Snippets (7 items)
  • Only assets in the parent folder can be shared, not child folders. 
  • To share a folder you can right click, click share folder and then select the workspaces that the folder should be shared with. 

Cloning across workspaces: 

  • Programs, Emails, Landing Pages, Forms (4) items
  • Clone assets as local assets inside of a program. 
  • You can drag and drop assets into another workspace (if you have appropriate access)
  • If you are cloning an asset that has a template, you must share the template within the workspace that you are cloning to. 

Important note: If a program contains members you cannot move this program to another workspace. 

 

Use case for workspaces: Marketing assets do not overlap/are entirely different among the spaces. One of the most common use cases is for region: North America, EMEA, APAC, etc. 

 

Another related topic: Person Partitions - These are essentially separate databases for your leads. They do not interact with each other, meaning there is no de-duping between them and there can be overlap among the partitions. Example, I could sign up for Company A communications and Company B communications. These 2 companies could be owned by the same parent company, but operate with separate partitions. Therefore, I could receive marketing communications from both because I would exist in both of their "databases" if that is how the company has the partition set up.

  • There are 3 different configurations for partitions. 
    • 1 to 1 (one person partition to one workspace)
    • 1 to many ( one workspace to many person partitions)
    • many to 1 (Many workspaces to one person partition)

For more on workspaces and partitions, you can read this experience league doc by Adobe.

 

Answers for Quiz #3:

  1. False - these are NON-EDITABLE fields. 
  2. B Lead Activity Log - While you could certainly see this information in the smart campaigns results it could take awhile to look through multiple campaigns. It is quickest to check that leads activity record to see if all of the appropriate campaigns are tracked. 
  3. False - the sync is bi-directional for lead and contact entities in Marketo. 
  4. A - lead, contact, empty. This is how you determine if a record in Marketo is in SFDC. If it’s empty, it means that the lead does not exist in SFDC. 
  5. True - This will increase ease of use to find a particular scenario. 
  6. D - There is a 6 month history for the audit trail. Marketo does not audit changes made within Web Personalization, Predictive Content or Sales Insight so it technically does not track everything. 

 

Quiz #4 Answers:

  1. D - same value for each lead based on the value after the equal sign. Ex.) For a token ( {{lead.Company Name:default=Your Company}} ) - If the company name field is left blank for a record, then the value that would display when rendered is " Your Company" 
  2. A,B,C,D (All answers)
  3. False - a token cannot be used in the preheader of an email unless you use your own HTML in an email template.
  4. B Member.Webinar URL - Member tokens are used to insert unique values from third parties such as On24, etc. These are generated by the service provider, not marketo.
  5. False - My tokens will not populate on emails sent this way. However, Standard tokens can be utilized here. Default values for tokens will work in these scenarios. 

Answers Quiz #5: 

  1. True - create a smart campaign with your desired audience or use the control panel of an email blast. A smart campaign can provide more flexibility because you can utilize flow steps such as wait, request a campaign, etc. 
  2. False - That is a smart list. A static list means that the list is unchanging. You upload a list or add people to the list via a smart campaign and they remain there. There is no fluctuation in the list. 
  3. C - The filter in the smart list is incorrect. Since it was an in person event and there were no integrations (such as splash) mentioned, we have to assume that the leads would be uploaded into marketo to a static list. 
  4. D - Event, Default, Email, Engagement. 
    1. Some people use the word nurture interchangeably with engagement but the official name in marketo is engagement program. Social media and webinar are not program types, but could be channel types. 

Answers to Quiz #6

  1. D Contacts and Leads
  2. B 4 hours
  3. C People that have received all of the emails in the stream
  4. False - Not ALL email reports can be grouped by segmentation. Email Performance can be grouped as such but email link performance cannot. 
  5. False - That is true for the email performance report. For the email LINK performance report people shows the unique number of people that clicked which is essentially the unique number of clicks. 
  6. A - an invalid/empty link was added to an email. Check any associated tokens that may be involved in pulling in the url, etc.
