Free and Premium Salesforce OmniStudio-Consultant Dumps Questions Answers

The FlexCard feature that the consultant should recommend to address this issue is Flyouts. A Flyout is a pop-up window that can display additional information or actions for a FlexCard. The consultant can use Flyouts to show some of the data elements and actions that are not essential for the main view of the product information, such as product details, specifications, reviews, etc. This way, the consultant can reduce the clutter on the main FlexCard and improve the user experience

Below is the formatted question with a 100% verified answer based on official Salesforce OmniStudio documentation, including a comprehensive explanation and references.

Flyout Action (E) – The Flyout Action in a FlexCard is used to display additional information in a pop-up window. Since the requirement mentions that a pop-up window must display additional details, the Flyout Action is the best choice for this functionality.

OmniScript Action (B) – The OmniScript Action launches an OmniScript, which is a guided interaction tool for multi-step processes. Since the requirement states that a button should initiate a guided process to add new leads, an OmniScript is the ideal choice.

A. Block Element – Blocks in FlexCards are used for organizing layout and content but do not provide pop-ups or interactive actions.

C. Interaction Launcher – This launches an interaction but is typically used for navigating to another page or launching an external URL, not a pop-up with additional details.

D. Data Table – A Data Table is used to display multiple records in a table format but does not trigger a guided process or pop-ups.

FlexCards Actions Overview

Using Flyout Actions in FlexCards

Launching OmniScripts from FlexCards

The three tools that should be used in the solution are DataRaptor Turbo Extract, Integration Procedure, and DataRaptor Load. DataRaptor Turbo Extract can be used to retrieve all open cases that have a case type of “network issue” from Salesforce in batch mode. Integration Procedure can be used to orchestrate the data flow between Salesforce and the back-office system, as well as trigger an email to the supervisor after the cases have been submitted. DataRaptor Load can be used to write data to the back-office system using REST or SOAP APIs. OmniScript is not needed for this scenario, as there is no user interface involved. FlexCard is not relevant for this scenario, as it is used to display contextual data on record pages.

Salesforce Knowledge (A) must be enabled in the org to allow OmniScripts to retrieve and display Knowledge Articles.

Once Salesforce Knowledge is activated, OmniScripts can fetch Knowledge Articles using DataRaptors or Integration Procedures and display search results dynamically based on user inputs.

B. OmniScript Designer – This is a tool for building OmniScripts but does not enable Knowledge functionality.

C. Salesforce Classic – OmniScripts are designed for Salesforce Lightning, and enabling Classic is not required.

D. Salesforce Lightning – While OmniStudio works in Lightning, enabling Salesforce Lightning is not what activates Knowledge in OmniScripts.

Enabling Salesforce Knowledge

Using Salesforce Knowledge in OmniScripts

Decision Matrices and Expression Sets are used to perform calculations, apply conditional logic, and evaluate business rules in OmniStudio.

The primary benefit (A) is that they enable calculations on matrix lookups and variables.

Decision Matrices allow for defining complex rules based on multiple conditions (e.g., determining discount percentages based on customer type).

Expression Sets allow for calculations and formulas to process data dynamically.

B. Facilitate the creation of custom objects – Decision Matrices and Expression Sets do not create Salesforce objects; they only manipulate and evaluate data.

C. Allow for the creation of custom fields – Custom fields are created at the Salesforce object level, not via Decision Matrices or Expression Sets.

D. Enable the creation of custom code – OmniStudio is a low-code/no-code platform, meaning these tools are designed to replace the need for custom Apex or JavaScript.

The correct OmniScript elements to capture the information are Select, TypeAhead, and Number. Select allows the user to choose one option from a list of values, TypeAhead provides autocomplete suggestions for address fields, and Number validates that the input is a numeric value. Radio, Multi-Select, and Checkbox are not suitable for single selection scenarios. Geolocation is not an OmniScript element, and Telephone is not a valid data type for phone numbers.

Based on dynamic inputs from OmniScript fields (C) – The best way to integrate Salesforce Knowledge with an OmniScript is to dynamically retrieve articles based on user inputs.

A DataRaptor Extract or Integration Procedure can fetch Knowledge Articles based on values entered in the OmniScript fields (e.g., case type, keywords).

A. Using a simple search – While a simple search is possible, OmniScripts allow for dynamic queries based on user input, making them more flexible.

B. Using a complex search algorithm – OmniStudio does not have a complex search algorithm feature built into OmniScripts.

D. Based on static values set up during configuration – Using static values would not allow for dynamic filtering based on user inputs.

OmniScript Integration with Salesforce Knowledge

Using DataRaptors to Fetch Knowledge Articles

The type of action that the consultant should recommend to meet this new requirement is Navigate. A Navigate action is a button or a link that can redirect the user to another web page or URL. The consultant can use a Navigate action to add a new action to the FlexCards that redirects users to an external web page

The solution that the consultant should recommend to efficiently meet these requirements is to create an OmniScript that uses the reusable property to update contact data and embed it in other OmniScripts. A reusable OmniScript is an OmniScript that can be embedded in another OmniScript as a sub-process. This way, the consultant can create one OmniScript that updates contact data in a consistent way, and then use it in multiple OmniScripts that need to update contact data at different points in the process. This will improve the design and maintenance of the OmniScripts

 The two FlexCard benefits that the consultant should highlight when presenting a proposed solution are: Display different actions based on context and Display a 360° view of the customer. FlexCards can display different actions based on context, such as data values or user roles. The consultant can use this feature to show only relevant actions for each customer situation, such as scheduling an inquiry call with an agent if the customer satisfaction is low. FlexCards can also display a 360° view of the customer, by showing data from multiple sources in one card format. The consultant can use this feature to show important customer information at a glance, such as billing issues, account status, etc

 DataRaptors are OmniStudio data tools that can perform various functions on data, such as reading, writing, transforming, and validating. They can work with Salesforce data and external data sources. The two functions that can be performed by DataRaptors are:

Transform data: DataRaptors can use transformation rules to manipulate data, such as changing the format, applying calculations, mapping values, etc.

Read and write data to Salesforce: DataRaptors can use SOQL or SOSL queries to read data from Salesforce objects and fields, and use DML operations to insert, update, delete, or upsert data to Salesforce.

The functions that cannot be performed by DataRaptors are:

Combine requests into a single response: DataRaptors cannot aggregate multiple requests from different sources into one response. This can be done using Integration Procedures, which can orchestrate multiple DataRaptors or REST calls into a single process.

Read and write data to external systems: DataRaptors cannot directly access external systems or APIs. They need to use Integration Procedures or REST elements to invoke external services and pass the data to or from DataRaptors.

 The business problem that DataRaptor solves is that it removes the need to code data mappings for data transformations. DataRaptor allows the designer to declaratively define how data is read, transformed, and written between Salesforce and external systems. It does not allow developers to create complex API queries declaratively, as this is done by Integration Procedures. It does not combine multiple steps and processes into a single server call, as this is done by Calculation Procedures. It does not guide humans through a complex business process, as this is done by OmniScripts.

The consultant should suggest removing Step 1 and prefilling the account information automatically to improve the design. Since the OmniScript will be launched from an account detail page, there is no need to ask the user to enter the account name again. The consultant can use an Input Parameter element to pass the account ID from the page to the OmniScript, and then use a DataRaptor Extract Action element to retrieve the account information and display it in Step 2. This will save time and avoid errors

 A Text Block element in OmniScript can perform three functions: display links or images, apply text formatting, and format tables. A Text Block element can use HTML tags to create hyperlinks or embed images in the OmniScript. It can also use CSS properties to style the text, such as font size, color, alignment, etc. Additionally, a Text Block element can use HTML table tags to create and format tables in the OmniScript

 The two actions that the consultant should recommend to the project team are replace existing APEX using DataRaptors and HTTPActions, and implement FlexCards and OmniScripts for the front-end. Replacing existing APEX using DataRaptors and HTTPActions would reduce implementation time, as these tools are declarative and do not require coding. Implementing FlexCards and OmniScripts for the front-end would ensure end-user processes are as simple as possible, as these tools provide guided interactions and contextual data. Creating new LWC templates for branding and styling would increase implementation time, as this would require coding and testing. Using existing APEX classes as data sources would not ensure optimal UX, as this would limit the flexibility and scalability of the solution.

The solution that the consultant should recommend is DataRaptor Turbo Extract. DataRaptor Turbo Extract allows the designer to retrieve a large amount of data from a Salesforce object in batch mode without hitting governor limits. DataRaptor Extract is not suitable for this scenario, as it can only retrieve data from a single record or a small set of records. Calculation Procedure and DataRaptor Turbo Extract are not needed for this scenario, as there is no calculation involved. Integration Procedure and DataRaptor Turbo Extract are not needed for this scenario, as there is no data integration involved.

FlexCards (B) – FlexCards are the best choice because they are designed to display account-related information such as status, priority level, creation date, and company logo while also allowing the inclusion of actions (e.g., closing a case, opening a new case, creating a task).

FlexCards provide a user-friendly UI with clickable actions that can trigger OmniScripts or Integration Procedures to process user interactions.

A. Use OmniScripts – OmniScripts are for step-by-step guided interactions but are not primarily used for displaying static account information.

C. Use Integration Procedures – Integration Procedures fetch and transform data but do not provide a user interface. They can be used within FlexCards but are not the solution on their own.

D. Use Data Mappers – Salesforce does not have a native "Data Mappers" tool; data transformation is handled by DataRaptors or Integration Procedures.

FlexCards Overview

Configuring Actions in FlexCards

The consultant should design the FlexCard solution using card filter and multiple FlexCards to meet these requirements. A card filter is a property that determines which records are displayed in a FlexCard based on certain criteria. The consultant can use card filter to display only the cases with a specific status, such as Open, Awaiting Closure, or Closed. A FlexCard is a tool that can display data and actions in a card format. The consultant can create multiple FlexCards for each case status, and customize the fields and actions accordingly. The consultant can also use custom style to apply different borders for each case status

The data source that is needed when using the TypeAhead element is DataRaptor Extract Action. A TypeAhead element is an element that can display a list of suggestions for the user to select from, as they type in a text field. A DataRaptor Extract Action is an action that can retrieve data from a Salesforce object or invoke a Salesforce API, using SOQL queries or Apex methods. The consultant can use a DataRaptor Extract Action as a data source for the TypeAhead element, to get the contact names from Salesforce and display them as suggestions

The OmniStudio tool that can be used to invoke scheduled jobs is Integration Procedure. An Integration Procedure is a tool that can execute multiple DataRaptor actions, such as Extract, Transform, and Load, and also invoke REST or SOAP services. An Integration Procedure can also be scheduled to run at a specific time or frequency using Apex Scheduler or Process Builder

Formula (C) – The Formula element calculates whether the user is 18 years or older based on the birthdate they input.

It performs a real-time calculation using the current date minus the birthdate to determine the age.

Alert (A) – The Alert element is used to display an error message when the user does not meet the age requirement.

It prevents the user from proceeding until the condition (age >= 18) is met.

B. Calculation – Calculation is used for business logic and rules processing, but a Formula element is more suitable for real-time validation within an OmniScript.

D. Messaging – The Messaging element displays information but does not prevent further progress, while an Alert stops the user from continuing.

The consultant should design the OmniScript solution using the Save property to allow the user to stop and resume a process at a later time. The Save property is a property that determines whether an OmniScript can be saved as a draft and resumed later from where it was left off. The consultant can enable the Save property on an OmniScript to allow the user to stop and resume a process at a later time, without losing any data or progress.

The OmniStudio tools that the consultant should use to design a solution to meet these requirements are: Single FlexCard with multiple actions. A FlexCard is a tool that can display data and actions in a card format. The consultant can use a single FlexCard to display the medical test reports for each patient, including the report name, date requested, and date generated. A FlexCard can also have multiple actions, such as buttons or links, that can invoke OmniScripts or Integration Procedures. The consultant can use multiple actions to enable the user to approve, print for review, or send for retest each medical test report

A DataRaptor Extract can retrieve data from multiple related objects. A DataRaptor Extract is a tool that can read data from a Salesforce object or invoke a Salesforce API, using SOQL queries or Apex methods. A DataRaptor Extract can also use filters, joins, and formulas to manipulate the data. A DataRaptor Extract can retrieve data from multiple related objects by using lookup or master-detail relationships in the SOQL queries or Apex methods

The requirement is to update 500 Leads using Data Loader, ensuring that blank (null) values in the CSV file (for Email or Phone) do not overwrite existing values in Salesforce records. The Salesforce Data Loader provides a specific setting to control this behavior, making A the correct answer.

Here’s why A. Open Data Loader --> Setting --> Uncheck the "Insert Null Values" checkbox is the correct answer:

Data Loader Behavior: By default, when you update records via Data Loader, blank values in the CSV file are treated as nulls and will overwrite the corresponding fields in Salesforce with null, replacing any existing data. For example, if a Lead record has Phone = "555-1234" and the CSV has a blank Phone column for that ID, the update will set Phone = null unless configured otherwise.

Insert Null Values Setting: The "Insert Null Values" checkbox in Data Loader’s Settings (found under Settings > Settings) determines whether blank CSV values are treated as nulls.

Checked: Blank values in the CSV overwrite existing field values with null (default behavior).

Unchecked: Blank values in the CSV are ignored, and the existing field values in Salesforce are preserved.

Meeting the Requirement: Unchecking "Insert Null Values" ensures that if a row in the CSV has a blank Email or Phone, those fields in the corresponding Lead record remain unchanged (e.g., retaining Email = "john@example.com" instead of setting it to null). Only non-blank values in the CSV (e.g., a new Phone number) will update the records.

Process: Open Data Loader, go to Settings > Settings, uncheck "Insert Null Values," then proceed with the Update operation using the CSV file with ID, Email, and Phone columns.

Now, let’s examine why the other options are incorrect:

B. Null values cannot be ignored. If they are present in CSV, they get updated as null: This is false. Data Loader provides the "Insert Null Values" setting specifically to ignore nulls when unchecked, contradicting this option.

C. Open Data Loader --> Setting --> Check the "Ignore Null Values" checkbox: There’s no "Ignore Null Values" checkbox in Data Loader Settings. The relevant option is "Insert Null Values," which must be unchecked (not checked) to ignore nulls, making this option incorrect due to inaccurate terminology and logic.

D. Modify the CSV file and remove the records which have null values, and update them manually: This is a workaround, not a best practice. Manually editing 500 records is inefficient and error-prone when Data Loader’s built-in setting can handle this automatically.

E. Null values do not get updated through Data Loader: This is false. By default, null values do update fields unless the "Insert Null Values" setting is unchecked.

References:

Salesforce Data Loader Guide: Settings – Details the "Insert Null Values" option and its impact on updates.

Salesforce Help: Updating Records with Data Loader – Explains handling null values in CSV imports/updates.

Conducting a thorough review (C) – The best way to ensure the OmniScript meets the business requirements is to review each step and compare it with the documented requirements.

This includes validating the data flow, user interactions, and integration points to make sure the script functions as intended.

A. Implement the OmniScript without comparing it with the client's business requirements – Skipping the review process can lead to errors and misalignment with business needs.

B. Assume that the OmniScript meets the client’s business requirements without conducting a review – This is risky and unprofessional; assumptions should not replace validation.

D. Ask the client to review the OmniScript with their internal team – While client feedback is important, the consultant must first conduct their own thorough review before involving the client.

OmniScript Best Practices & Validation

OmniScript Testing & Debugging

Step elements are used to organize the OmniScript into one or more pages. They define the layout, navigation, and visibility of the OmniScript elements. They can also have pre- and post-actions that can execute DataRaptors, Integration Procedures, or other processes before or after the user completes the step.

The other options are not correct because:

Allows the user to input data: This is not the purpose of Step elements, but of Input elements, such as Text, Number, Date, Picklist, etc.

Groups elements that extract data: This is not the purpose of Step elements, but of Data Source elements, such as DataRaptor Extract, Integration Procedure Extract, etc.

Enables the use of repeatable blocks: This is not the purpose of Step elements, but of Repeatable Block elements, which allow the user to add or remove multiple instances of a group of elements.

The type of state that the consultant should recommend to allow users to create a new case from the canvas is New Card State. A New Card State is a state that allows creating new records in a FlexCard using an OmniScript or an Integration Procedure. The consultant can use a New Card State to enable users to create a new case from the canvas, by invoking an OmniScript or an Integration Procedure that writes data to the Case object in Salesforce.

The feature that the consultant should recommend to improve performance and address users’ concerns is chaining. Chaining is a property that allows an Integration Procedure Action element to run asynchronously in the background, without blocking the user interface. The consultant can use chaining to execute the long-running process in parallel with other actions or steps in the OmniScript, and notify the user when it is completed. This will improve the user experience and reduce waiting time

The two features that the consultant should highlight to address IT’s concerns are Custom Styles and FlexCard Designer. Custom Styles are a feature that allows applying custom CSS properties to an OmniScript or a FlexCard element. Custom Styles do not require any coding skills, and can be easily configured using a graphical interface. FlexCard Designer is a tool that allows creating and editing FlexCards using a drag-and-drop interface. FlexCard Designer also does not require any coding skills, and can be used by anyone who has access to OmniStudio tools

The OmniScript elements that the consultant should recommend to meet these requirements are: Radio Group, DataRaptor Post Action, and Email Action. A Radio Group element is an element that can display a list of options for the user to choose from, such as customer satisfaction rating. A Radio Group element allows only one option to be selected at a time, and can also have icons for each option. A DataRaptor Post Action is an action that can write data to a Salesforce object or invoke a Salesforce API. The consultant can use a DataRaptor Post Action to create a case for an account team member to follow up. An Email Action is an action that can send an email to one or more recipients, with optional attachments and templates. The consultant can use an Email Action to email a summary message to the user

Below is the formatted question with a 100% verified answer based on official Salesforce OmniStudio documentation, including a comprehensive explanation and references.

The two pieces of data that the consultant should recommend displaying using FlexCards are: Policies including type, issue date, amount and Customer name, title, phone, email. A FlexCard is a tool that can display data and actions in a card format. The consultant can use FlexCards to show important and summary information about the customer and their policies, such as name, title, phone, email, type, issue date, and amount. These pieces of data are suitable for FlexCards because they are concise and relevant for the agents

 The state that will be displayed at runtime if two of the states’ condition are true is the state with a true condition that has the highest priority. Priority is a field on the state object that determines the order in which states are evaluated when there are multiple states with true conditions. The lower the priority number, the higher the precedence. The position of the state on the canvas or the order of evaluation does not affect the state selection logic.

 Calculation Procedures & Matrices are used to perform complex calculations based on input data and predefined rules. They are suitable for use cases that involve pricing, rating, scoring, or eligibility determination. Therefore, the use cases that should be implemented using Calculation Procedures & Matrices are:

Use a house’s address, size, and age of the building to determine an insurance premium. (This involves rating based on multiple factors)

Use location and past usage to determine the monthly cost for an energy product. (This involves pricing based on variable inputs)

Use risk factors for an insured item to determine different insurance product options. (This involves scoring and eligibility based on criteria)

The use cases that should not be implemented using Calculation Procedures & Matrices are:

Use rules to determine eligible insurance products based on a house’s address and age of the building. (This can be done using Business Rules Engine or OmniScript logic)

Use the product color and capacity to determine the price of a product. (This can be done using simple formulas or lookup tables)

Comprehensive and Detailed In-Depth Explanation:The requirement involves creating a quoting process within an OmniScript where an agent selects a product (with a unit price), specifies grade and size, looks up a discount factor based on those inputs, and calculates the final quote. Two OmniStudio tools are needed to achieve this: Decision Matrix and DataRaptor Extract.

Here’s why C. Decision Matrix and D. DataRaptor Extract are the correct answers:

C. Decision Matrix:

Purpose: A Decision Matrix in OmniStudio is a tool used to look up values based on multiple input conditions, returning a result that can be used in calculations or processes. It’s essentially a configurable lookup table stored as a Salesforce custom object (DecisionMatrixDefinition).

Application: In this scenario, the Decision Matrix is ideal for determining the discount factor based on the combination of grade (A, B, C, D, E) and size (Small, Medium, Large, X-Large). For example:

Grade A + Small = 0.9 (10% discount)

Grade B + Large = 0.85 (15% discount)

And so on for all 20 combinations (5 grades × 4 sizes).

Integration with OmniScript: The OmniScript can call the Decision Matrix via an Integration Procedure or directly reference it in a Calculation Action, passing Grade and Size as inputs and receiving the DiscountFactor as output.

Why It Fits: The requirement explicitly states “look up a discount factor,” and Decision Matrix is purpose-built for such multi-variable lookups, making it more efficient than manual coding or other tools.

D. DataRaptor Extract:

Purpose: A DataRaptor Extract retrieves data from Salesforce objects and maps it into a JSON format usable by OmniScripts or other components.

Application: The product details, including the UnitPrice, are passed to the OmniScript when the agent selects a product. A DataRaptor Extract is needed to fetch this product data from a Salesforce object (e.g., Product2 or a custom object like QuoteLineItem__c) based on the selected product’s ID. The extracted data (e.g., { "ProductId": "01t...", "UnitPrice": 100 }) is then available in the OmniScript’s data JSON.

Role in Calculation: After the Decision Matrix provides the discount factor, the OmniScript can use a Calculation Action to multiply the UnitPrice (from the DataRaptor Extract) by the DiscountFactor (from the Decision Matrix) to compute the quote (e.g., 100 * 0.9 = 90).

Why It Fits: The process starts with product selection, and DataRaptor Extract is the standard OmniStudio tool for retrieving Salesforce data like unit price.

How They Work Together:

DataRaptor Extract: Fetches product details (e.g., UnitPrice) when the agent selects a product.

Decision Matrix: Looks up the discount factor based on Grade and Size inputs.

Calculation Action in OmniScript: Multiplies UnitPrice by DiscountFactor to return the quote.

Now, let’s examine why the other options are incorrect:

A. DataRaptor Transform: A DataRaptor Transform manipulates or reshapes data (e.g., converting JSON structures or applying formulas) but doesn’t retrieve data from Salesforce or perform lookups like a Decision Matrix. While it could theoretically calculate the quote after data is fetched, it’s not needed here since a Calculation Action within OmniScript can handle the multiplication, and it doesn’t address the lookup requirement.

B. Expression Set: An Expression Set defines reusable formulas or conditions in OmniStudio, often used in Integration Procedures or Calculations. While it could compute the final quote (e.g., UnitPrice * DiscountFactor), it doesn’t retrieve data or perform lookups based on grade and size. It’s a supporting tool, not a primary solution for this requirement.

 The two OmniScript features that the consultant should recommend to meet this validation requirement are: Messaging and Formula. A Messaging element is an element that can display a text message with an icon and a color, such as blue for information or yellow for warning. The consultant can use a Messaging element to display an error message stating that the age cannot be less than 18 if the user’s birthday indicates they are under 18 years old. A Formula element is an element that can perform calculations or validations on data values using expressions or functions. The consultant can use a Formula element to validate the user’s birthday by subtracting it from the current date and checking if the result is greater than or equal to 18 years

To improve the user experience, the consultant should use a Block Element with the Collapse property enabled and a Zone Template. A Block Element with the Collapse property enabled allows the user to expand or collapse a section of the FlexCard, which is useful for displaying a list of related records. A Zone Template allows the consultant to define the layout and style of the FlexCard, such as the number of columns, rows, and margins

Comprehensive and Detailed In-Depth Explanation:The requirement involves designing a FlexCard solution to display case data fetched by a single DataRaptor, with three distinct categories of cases ("Open," "Awaiting Closure," and "Closed"), each with specific fields and unique styling (e.g., red border for Open, grey border for Awaiting Closure). Based on Salesforce OmniStudio capabilities, the most efficient and appropriate design is a single FlexCard with three states.

Here’s why B. Using a single FlexCard with three states is the correct answer:

FlexCard States Overview: In OmniStudio, a FlexCard can have multiple "states," which are conditional views of the card’s content and styling based on data conditions. Each state can display different fields, apply unique CSS styles (e.g., borders), and include interactive elements (e.g., links). States are driven by conditions evaluated against the data retrieved by the DataRaptor, making them ideal for scenarios where the same dataset (in this case, cases from a single DataRaptor) needs to be presented differently based on a field value (e.g., Status).

Meeting the Requirements:

Data Source: All cases are fetched via a single DataRaptor, which aligns with using one FlexCard since FlexCards are designed to work with a single data source (e.g., a DataRaptor Extract) and then manipulate or display that data in various ways.

"Open" Cases: A state can be configured with a condition like Status = 'Open', displaying fields such as CaseDescription, CaseOpenDate, CaseType, AssignedTo, and Priority. Custom CSS can be applied in the state’s style settings to add a red border (e.g., border: 2px solid red).

"Awaiting Closure" Cases: Another state with a condition like Status = 'Awaiting Closure' can show CaseDescription, LastActionTakenDate, Resolution, ApprovalReasonForClosure, and AssignedTo, styled with a grey border (e.g., border: 2px solid grey).

"Closed" Cases: A third state with Status = 'Closed' can display CaseDescription, Resolution, and CaseClosedDate, with a hyperlink element added for duplicate cases (e.g., linking to a related DuplicateCaseId field). No specific border color is mentioned, so default styling or a custom style could be applied.

Display Logic: By default, FlexCards in a list format (e.g., a datatable or repeating block) can iterate over the DataRaptor’s JSON output, applying the appropriate state to each case record based on its Status. This ensures all cases are displayed dynamically with their respective fields and styles.

Why One FlexCard?: Using a single FlexCard with states keeps the solution efficient, maintainable, and aligned with OmniStudio best practices. It leverages one DataRaptor call, reduces redundancy, and centralizes the logic and styling in a single component.

Now, let’s examine why the other options are incorrect:

A. Using three FlexCards: While it’s technically possible to create three separate FlexCards (one for Open, one for Awaiting Closure, and one for Closed), this approach is inefficient and impractical. Each FlexCard would need its own DataRaptor or a filtered subset of the same DataRaptor output, leading to redundant configurations and multiple queries or data manipulations. Additionally, displaying all three categories together in a cohesive console view would require embedding them in an OmniScript or custom layout, complicating the design. The requirement implies a unified display of all cases, which a single FlexCard with states handles more naturally.

C. Using a single FlexCard with multiple card filters: Card filters in FlexCards allow users to dynamically filter the displayed data (e.g., a dropdown to show only Open cases). However, filters don’t inherently change the fields displayed or apply specific styling like red or grey borders per category—they only subset the data. To meet the requirement of showing different fields (e.g., Priority for Open vs. LastActionTakenDate for Awaiting Closure) and unique styling, you’d still need states or custom coding beyond what filters provide. Filters are user-driven, not automatic, and don’t fully address the requirement.

D. Using a single FlexCard with three flyouts: Flyouts are pop-up panels in FlexCards that display additional details or actions when a user interacts with an element (e.g., clicking a case row). While flyouts could show extra case details, they don’t suit the requirement of displaying all cases with their respective fields and borders directly on the main card. Flyouts are supplementary, not primary displays, and using three flyouts would require user interaction to view each category, which contradicts the need to "display cases as follows" in a visible, highlighted manner.

Best Practice Alignment:

The OmniStudio documentation emphasizes FlexCard states for scenarios where data from a single source needs conditional rendering and styling. This approach minimizes maintenance overhead, optimizes performance (one DataRaptor call), and provides a seamless user experience for contact center agents viewing all case types in one console.
