View a guest profile in Sitecore CDP
How to view a guest profile (Sitecore CDP).
Sitecore CDP creates a guest profile for every person that interacts with your brand, regardless of the channel they use. Guest profiles have the potential to be very robust, populated with behavioral and transactional data.
If your organization passes Personally Identifiable Information (PII) data to Sitecore CDP, the guest profile contains personal information about the guest such as first name and last name.
To view a guest profile:
In the navigation pane, click Customer Data, Guests. The Guests screen displays.
Click the name of the guest or Unique Universal Identifier (UUID). The Guest Profile screen displays. Depending on the guest type, the Timeline, Orders, and Properties tabs display for you to view additional information on the guest.
Note
For ease of use when reading this topic, the Guest Profile screen is separated into two images.
The following image shows the upper half of the Guest Profile screen for organizations that pass PII data to Sitecore CDP. The accompanying table contains a description of each numbered screen item.
The upper half of the Guest Profile screen provides the following data:
Screen Item | Definition |
|---|---|
1. Guest name or identifier | The proper name of the guest. The guest's email address displays underneath their name, along with their city and country, if available. Alternatively, if your organization does not pass PII data to Sitecore CDP, a UUID displays instead of a name and email address, for example, ABC123. |
2. Guest type | The guest type which represents the level of identity Sitecore CDP established for the guest. Only organizations that pass PII data to Sitecore CDP use guest types. |
3. Overview tab | A high-level view of the guest's transactional data, channel and device preferences, usage times, and segment membership. This is the default tab that displays when you view a guest profile. |
