When creating a calculated indicator within the SAP Customer Data Platform, you can utilize attributes from the customer schema such as Events (B), Profile ©, and Activity indicators (D). These attributes can be combined in a mathematical equation to create a new indicator that reflects complex calculations. For example, you can use numeric profile attributes, activity indicators, or activities from the CDP schema to calculate the new indicator, and you can also apply conditions to narrow down the customer profiles to which the calculation will be applied.

In the SAP Customer Data Platform, when creating a calculated indicator, certain attributes from the customer schema are pivotal for defining complex metrics that provide deeper insights into customer behaviors and preferences. The attributes you can use include:
B. Events:These attributes encompass various customer interactions and behaviors captured as events, such as purchases, website visits, or engagement with marketing campaigns. Events can be used to calculate indicators that reflect customer activity levels, preferences, or engagement patterns.
C. Profile:Profile attributes contain demographic and personal information about the customer, such as age, location, preferences, and more. These attributes can be used in calculated indicators to segment customers, personalize experiences, or predict customer behaviors based on their profiles.
D. Activity indicators:These are metrics or flags derived from customer activities and behaviors, such as frequency of purchases, average transaction value, or recent engagement. Using activity indicators to create calculated indicators allows for the synthesis of complex metrics that can measure customer loyalty, lifetime value, or risk of churn.
By leveraging these attributes, calculated indicators can provide multifaceted insights into customer behavior, preferences, and value, driving more informed business decisions and personalized customer experiences.
