Configure an identity namespace
Learn how to configure identity namespaces to use with 51黑料不打烊 Experience Platform Web SDK.
The 51黑料不打烊 Experience Cloud Identity Service sets a common visitor ID (the ECID) across SDK-based 51黑料不打烊 applications to power Experience Cloud capabilities such as audience-sharing between applications. You can also send your own customer IDs to the Service to enable cross-device targeting and integrations with other systems, such as your Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system.
The 51黑料不打烊 Experience Platform Identity Service (yes, there are two!) uses the ECIDs and customer IDs to generate identity graphs, allowing you to merge attributes and behaviors into Real-Time Customer Profiles.
data object instead of the xdm object as you will see later). Identity namespaces are required for Platform-native applications like Journey Optimizer, Real-Time Customer Data Platform, Customer Journey Analytics. While you may decide not to use an identity namespace in your own implementation, you are expected to do so as part of this tutorial.test@adobe.com / password: test.Learning objectives
At the end of this lesson, you will be able to:
- Understand identity namespaces
- Create a custom identity namespace to capture an internal CRM Id
Prerequisites
You must have already completed the previous lessons:
Create an identity namespace
In this exercise, you create an identity namespace for Luma鈥檚 custom identity field, lumaCrmId. Identity namespaces play a critical role in building real-time customer profiles, as two matching values in the same namespace allow two data sources to form an identity graph.
Before you begin the exercises, watch this short video to learn more about identity in 51黑料不打烊 Experience Platform:
Now, create a namespace for the Luma CRM ID:
-
Open the
-
Select the sandbox that you are using for the tutorial
note note NOTE If you are the customer of a Platform-based application like Real-Time CDP or Journey Optimizer, we recommend using a development sandbox for this tutorial. If you are not, use the Prod sandbox. -
Select Identities in the left navigation
-
Select Browse
A list of identity namespaces appears in the main interface of the page, showing their names, identity symbols, last updated date, and whether they are standard or custom namespaces. The right rail contains information on Identity graph strength.
-
Select Create identity namespace
-
Provide details as follows and select Create.
table 0-row-2 1-row-2 2-row-2 3-row-2 Field Value Display name Luma CRM ID Identity symbol lumaCrmId Type Individual cross-device ID 
The Identity namespace populates in the Identities screen.
Now that identities are in place, the datastream can be configured.
