This may show a drop in the “Addressable audience” metric in the license usage dashboard and may show a drop in the “Profile count” metric in the Profile dashboard, since these metrics included leftover edge attribute fragments prior to this release.To learn more about Real-Time Customer Profile, including tutorials and best practices for working with profile data, please begin by reading the Real-Time Customer Profile overview.
Sources sources
Adobe Experience Platform can ingest data from external sources while allowing you to structure, label, and enhance that data using Platform services. You can ingest data from a variety of sources such as Adobe applications, cloud-based storage, third-party software, and your CRM system.
