In part 1, I told you what and why we xDB Peek exists. Now let's break down what the info is and something I am adding soon.
Contact
The contact tab is all the data related to the contact itself in xConnect.
Identifiers
The identifiers list is all the identifiers that have been assigned to you, and all your merged accounts.
- Source: "emailaddress",
- Identifier: "chris.auer@gmail.com",
- IdentifierType: 1,
- IsValid: true
IsKnown
This is if the contact has been identified by an identifier other than the 2 out of the box Sitecore identifiers. This would be when you run the IdentifyAs(source, identifier) function on the users tracker. Or assign a new Identifier to the user through a direct xConnect connection.
ExpandOptions
This is the available facets for you to use when talking to xConnect. Think of the facets list as a list of all the facets that xConnect knows about.
ConcurrencyToken
The ConcurrencyToken is a GUID that Sitecore uses to sign all your facets. When you ask for a facet from xConnect and it exists. The facet will have a ConcurrencyToken set. This is the Guid it will use. If you pass the facet back to xConnect in a save action, and the tokens don't match. Sitecore will throw an error of "Facet already exist" since the facet is there and it is not allowed to write a new one. The ConcurrencyToken is different for each object.
LastModified
The last time this contact was changed
Id
This is the contact Id for the contact. This is the main identifier for this contact. This is the ID you will see in the url for Experience Profile. It is NOT the contact ID you will see in the tracker for contact ID. But it is the ID you will see in the Contacts table, in your shard databases.
