1In Dotdigital, what is an address book?
A.A grouping (list) you create to organise contacts for sending and management
B.A static report showing which campaigns each contact opened
C.A single contact's profile page containing all of their data fields
D.An automated program that adds new contacts on a schedule
Explanation: In Dotdigital an address book is a list-style grouping you create to organise contacts, for example by interest, source, or campaign. You add contacts to address books and then target sends and programs at those address books.
2Which statement best describes the relationship between the All contacts list and individual address books in Dotdigital?
A.Each address book stores a completely separate copy of its contacts with no master list
B.All contacts is the master list of every contact, while address books are sub-groupings drawn from it
C.Address books contain only suppressed contacts, while All contacts holds active ones
D.All contacts only appears once a segment has been refreshed
Explanation: Every contact in the account lives in the All contacts master list, and address books are groupings of contacts taken from that master list. A contact can belong to multiple address books while still being a single record in All contacts.
3A marketer wants to store each contact's date of birth so it can be used in age-based segments and birthday automations. Which data field type should they choose in Dotdigital?
A.Text
B.Numeric
C.Date
D.Yes/No
Explanation: Dotdigital contact data fields can be Text, Numeric, Date, or Yes/No. A date of birth should use the Date type so it can be compared in segment rules and used to trigger date-based programs such as birthday campaigns.
4Which Dotdigital contact data field types are available when creating a new custom contact data field?
A.String, Integer, Float, and Boolean
B.Single line, Paragraph, Dropdown, and File
C.Public, Private, Encrypted, and Hashed
D.Text, Numeric, Date, and Yes/No
Explanation: When you create a custom contact data field in Dotdigital you choose one of four types: Text, Numeric, Date, or Yes/No. Selecting the type that matches the data keeps it usable in segments, personalisation, and program rules.
5What is the practical difference between a list (address book) and a segment in Dotdigital?
A.Lists are static groupings you manage directly; segments are dynamic and re-evaluate against criteria
B.Lists are dynamic and update automatically; segments are fixed snapshots
C.Lists can only hold suppressed contacts; segments hold subscribed contacts
D.There is no difference; the terms are interchangeable in Dotdigital
Explanation: An address book (list) is a static grouping you add contacts to and manage directly, whereas a segment is a dynamic collection of contacts that meet criteria you define. Segments re-evaluate when refreshed, so membership changes automatically as contact data changes.
6When importing contacts into Dotdigital from a CSV file, what must the import file include so that contacts can be mapped correctly?
A.A pre-computed segment ID for every row
B.Column headers that map to the email channel and to existing contact data fields
C.A DKIM signature embedded in the first row
D.An opens and clicks history column for each contact
Explanation: A contact import needs column headers that Dotdigital can map to the contact's email address (the primary channel identifier) and to existing data fields such as first name or country. Correct mapping ensures the imported values populate the right fields for later segmentation and personalisation.
7A contact unsubscribes from a Dotdigital email campaign. What happens to that contact's status?
A.They are permanently deleted from the account immediately
B.They are moved into a hidden segment but still receive marketing emails
C.They are added to the suppression list and excluded from future marketing email sends
D.Nothing changes until you manually run a campaign report
Explanation: When a contact unsubscribes they are suppressed, meaning they are added to the account suppression list and excluded from future marketing email sends. Their record is retained so you keep an auditable opt-out, but they will no longer receive marketing campaigns.
8In the Dotdigital interface, where do you go to create a new custom contact data field?
A.Automation > Program builder > Data nodes
B.Reports > Campaign report > Data tab
C.Templates > EasyEditor > Field manager
D.Email > Contacts > Contact data fields > Custom data fields
Explanation: Custom contact data fields are managed under the contacts area of the platform, reached via Email > Contacts > Contact data fields > Custom data fields. From there you add a field, name it, and choose its type before it becomes available for mapping and personalisation.
9Why is capturing detailed, well-structured contact data important in Dotdigital?
A.The more detailed the captured data, the more targeted your segment criteria and personalisation can be
B.It increases the maximum number of address books allowed per account
C.It automatically authenticates your sending domain with SPF and DKIM
D.It removes the need to ever refresh a segment
Explanation: Dotdigital's segment builder is flexible, and the more detailed the data you capture for contacts, the more targeted your segment criteria can be. Rich data also powers deeper personalisation in campaigns and more precise program decisions.
10A contact appears in three different address books in Dotdigital. How many times will they normally receive a single email campaign sent to all three address books?
A.Three times, once per address book
B.Once, because Dotdigital de-duplicates contacts across the send
C.Never, because membership in multiple address books suppresses them
D.It depends on how many data fields the contact has
Explanation: Dotdigital de-duplicates the audience for a send, so a contact who belongs to several targeted address books receives the campaign only once. This is because there is a single master contact record in All contacts behind those address book memberships.
