Medallia Customer Experience Certification Medallia Platform Administration & Configuration 2 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: What is the primary purpose of configuring 'roles' in Medallia system administration?

- To assign specific survey questions exclusively to designated departments
- To specify which data, reports, and features a group of users can access (Correct answer)
- To schedule automated reports for executive-level stakeholders
Correct answer: To specify which data, reports, and features a group of users can access
Roles in Medallia define the full set of permissions for a user group, including which data units are visible, which reports are accessible, and which platform features are available, ensuring appropriate access control.
Question 2: When configuring survey logic in Medallia, what does 'skip logic' enable?
- Bypassing mandatory question completion validation rules
- Directing respondents to different follow-up questions based on their previous answers (Correct answer)
- Automatically skipping survey invitations for high-value customer segments
- Excluding specific response records from reporting calculations
Correct answer: Directing respondents to different follow-up questions based on their previous answers
Skip logic routes survey respondents to different questions depending on their prior answers, creating a dynamic and relevant experience that avoids asking inapplicable questions.
Question 3: Which Medallia configuration setting determines how frequently a single customer can receive survey invitations?
- Survey cadence template rules
- Response quota and sample size limits
- Customer tier and segment priority settings
- Invitation throttling or suppression rules (Correct answer)
Correct answer: Invitation throttling or suppression rules
Invitation throttling (suppression) rules in Medallia enforce minimum time intervals between survey invitations for the same customer, preventing over-surveying and protecting the customer experience.
Question 4: What is the primary function of Medallia's 'alert' configuration in workflow setup?
- Notifying the IT operations team when the Medallia system experiences downtime

- Alerting customers when their submitted feedback has been reviewed by a manager
- Sending reminder emails to customers who have not yet completed a survey
Correct answer: Triggering automated notifications to specific users when incoming feedback meets defined conditions
Alerts in Medallia automatically notify designated users (such as store managers) when feedback meets specific criteria (such as a low satisfaction score), enabling rapid follow-up on critical customer experiences.
Question 5: In Medallia, what is a 'metadata field' used for?

- Defining the visual layout and branding of survey pages

Metadata fields in Medallia store contextual data (such as transaction ID, store location, product category, or employee ID) tied to a feedback record, enabling more granular analysis and filtering in reports.
Question 6: What does 'user provisioning' refer to in the context of Medallia administration?
- Providing newly onboarded users with platform training and certification materials

Correct answer: Creating, configuring, and managing user accounts along with their access rights and roles
User provisioning in Medallia involves the full lifecycle of user account management, including creating accounts, assigning roles, configuring data access, and deactivating accounts when users leave the organization.
