Do’s and Don’ts in trail org
- Data Cloud Trial orgs are intended exclusively for Data Cloud Curriculum & Credential purposes and not for demonstration use.
- Follow the hands-on guide and ensure that no automated schedules, especially for Segment Publishing, have been set.
- Delete and remove any unused Data Streams and Insights.
- Remove any scheduled segment publishing activities.
- If you have a scheduled Data Stream, change the schedule to ‘None’ and perform manual refreshes when necessary.
- Minimize the frequency of ‘Recount’ or ‘Save’ changes to a Segment, as these actions result in costs separate from publishing a Segment.
- Avoid configuring excessive data ingestions and building overly complex Calculated Insights.
- Do not share access to this environment with customers for any purpose.
