OmniStudio-Consultant Salesforce Certified OmniStudio Consultant Exam(SP23) Questions and Answers

The two use cases that are best solved using Calculation Procedures & Matrices are: To apply the correct factor when determining a cost and To return output that is calculated differently based on the date. A Calculation Procedure is a tool that can perform complex calculations based on multiple input and output variables. A Calculation Matrix is a tool that can perform complex calculations based on multiple input variables and output values within groups. The consultant can use Calculation Procedures & Matrices to solve these use cases, because they involve applying rules and formulas to different data values and scenarios

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 FlexCard feature that the consultant should recommend to meet this requirement is a Datatable element with the Group By property. A Datatable element is an element that can display data in a tabular format, with columns and rows. The consultant can use a Datatable element to display the cases for an account, with columns for case status, case number, subject, etc. The Group By property is a property that allows grouping data by one or more fields, such as case status. The consultant can use the Group By property to organize the cases by case status, so that Escalated cases appear first, followed by Active and Closed cases

The OmniStudio data tool that the consultant should recommend in this scenario is an Integration Procedure. An Integration Procedure can execute multiple DataRaptor actions, such as Extract, Transform, and Load, and also invoke REST or SOAP services. In this case, the Integration Procedure can retrieve data from an external system via a REST API and store it in a JSON object for the OmniScript to display

FlexCards are used to display contextual customer information in a compact and customizable way. They can also provide access to related processes or actions. In this scenario, the features that the consultant should recommend are:

• Actions: These are buttons or links that can launch OmniScripts, DataRaptors, or other processes from the FlexCard. They can help the users to perform tasks related to the customer information displayed on the FlexCard.
• Custom Styles: These are CSS classes that can be applied to the FlexCard elements to match the company’s color scheme and fonts. They can help the users to have a consistent and branded user interface.
• Data Tables: These are elements that can display tabular data from one or more data sources on the FlexCard. They can help the users to see relevant data in a structured and sortable way.

The features that the consultant should not recommend are:

• Menu Elements: These are elements that can display a list of options or submenus on the FlexCard. They are not suitable for this scenario because they do not provide access to processes or actions, but only to other FlexCards or pages.
• Newport Design System: This is a design system that provides a set of predefined styles and components for OmniStudio applications. It is not suitable for this scenario because it does not match the company’s color scheme and fonts, and it may require additional customization.

The correct way to design the FlexCard to meet this requirement is to create two states, one for mobile devices and another for non-mobile devices. States allow the designer to define different layouts and behaviors for the same FlexCard based on conditions. The width of the fields can be adjusted for each state using the Size property. Enabling the Responsive feature on the field elements would not change their width, but only their alignment. Enabling the Mobile-First feature in FlexCard settings would not affect the width of the fields, but only the order in which they are displayed. Creating two FlexCards, one for mobile devices and another for non-mobile devices, would create redundant code and maintenance issues.

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 three OmniStudio tools that are needed to meet these requirements are: FlexCards, OmniStudio Actions, and OmniScript. A FlexCard is a tool that can display data and actions in a card format. The consultant can use a FlexCard to display the account information and icons for each action. An OmniStudio Action is a button that can invoke an OmniScript or an Integration Procedure from a FlexCard. The consultant can use OmniStudio Actions to launch guided processes for frequent tasks, such as change of plan, new sale, or loyalty. An OmniScript is a tool that can design customer interactions using elements and actions. The consultant can use OmniScripts to create the guided processes for each task

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.

The three OmniScript elements that should be used to meet the requirements are: DataRaptor Extract Action, Email Action, and Calculation Action. A DataRaptor Extract Action can retrieve data from a Salesforce object, such as total insurance premiums paid and the difference year over year, and store it in an Interface object or a JSON object. An Email Action can send an email to the customer with a summary report attached, using data from an Interface object or a JSON object. A Calculation Action can perform mathematical operations on data from an Interface object or a JSON object, such as calculating the difference year over year

 The two FlexCard features that the consultant should use to meet these requirements are States and OmniStudio Action. A State is a condition that determines how a FlexCard displays data and actions based on certain criteria. The consultant can use States to filter the installed products by their status and display different fields and actions accordingly. An OmniStudio Action is a button that can invoke an OmniScript or an Integration Procedure from a FlexCard. The consultant can use OmniStudio Actions to enable the agents to complete different processes for each installed product, such as pay bill, cancel service, etc

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 three OmniScript elements that should be used to meet the requirements are: Text Block, HTTP Action, and Select. A Text Block element can display rich text and images using HTML tags in the OmniScript. An HTTP Action element can invoke a REST API and store the response in a JSON object. A Select element can display a dropdown list of options for the user to choose from

 The type of DataRaptor that can be used to retrieve a list of cases filtered by the customer’s asset and the last service date of the asset is DataRaptor Extract. DataRaptor Extract allows the designer to retrieve data from Salesforce or an external system using filters and relationships. In this case, a filter can be used to match the asset ID and the last service date, and a relationship can be used to join the case and asset objects. DataRaptor Turbo is not a type of DataRaptor, but a feature that enables batch mode for DataRaptor Extract. DataRaptor Load is used to write data to Salesforce or an external system. DataRaptor Transform is used to transform data from one format to another using templates.

QUESTIONNO: 107

Which of the following is a key difference between Integration Procedures and DataRaptors?

A. DataRaptors can access data from external sources.

B. DataRaptors can invoke multiple actions in a single server call.

C. Integration Procedures can access data from external sources.

D. Integration Procedures can retrieve data from multiple related objects.

Answer: C

The key difference between Integration Procedures and DataRaptors is that Integration Procedures can access data from external sources, while DataRaptors can only access data from Salesforce. Integration Procedures allow the designer to create complex API queries declaratively using HTTP Actions or SOAP Actions. DataRaptors allow the designer to read, transform, and write data between Salesforce objects or fields. Both Integration Procedures and DataRaptors can invoke multiple actions in a single server call, and both can retrieve data from multiple related objects.

 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 OmniScript element that can be used to retrieve data from more than one source is Integration Procedure Action. An Integration Procedure Action can execute an Integration Procedure that can combine multiple DataRaptor actions, such as Extract, Transform, and Load, and also invoke REST or SOAP services. This way, the Integration Procedure Action can retrieve data from different sources, such as Salesforce objects or external systems, and store it in a JSON object for the OmniScript to display

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 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 two OmniStudio tools that the consultant should recommend to meet these requirements are: Calculation Matrix and DataRaptor Extract. A Calculation Matrix is a tool that can perform complex calculations based on multiple input variables and output values. The consultant can use a Calculation Matrix to look up the unit price using the product code, the grade, size, and then multiply the unit price by a discount factor. A DataRaptor Extract is a tool that can retrieve data from a Salesforce object or invoke a Salesforce API. The consultant can use a DataRaptor Extract to get the product code, grade, size, and discount factor from Salesforce

 The purpose of the Messaging element in OmniScript is to display a warning to users based on logical conditions. A Messaging element can show a message with an icon and a color, such as red for error or green for success. The message can be configured to appear or disappear based on certain criteria, such as field values or user actions

When designing OmniScripts, the best practices that should be followed to optimize performance and user experience are:

• Use a single DataRaptor to save the information: Instead of using multiple DataRaptors to update the account information after each step, it is better to use a single DataRaptor at the end of the OmniScript to save all the information at once. This reduces the number of database operations and improves performance.
• Combine the three steps into one step: Instead of having three separate steps to capture the required information, it is better to combine them into one step with a simple layout. This reduces the number of page transitions and improves user experience.

The suggestions that are not best practices are:

• Create a reusable OmniScript for this process: This may not be necessary if the process is specific to creating new billing accounts and not used by other OmniScripts. Creating a reusable OmniScript may add complexity and maintenance overhead.
• Configure the save for later property: This may not be useful if the process is short and simple and does not require the user to resume it later. Configuring the save for later property may add unnecessary storage and retrieval logic.

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 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 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

The consultant should recommend using a Headline element to ensure the agents can see and follow these standard scripts. A Headline element 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 Headline element to show the customer greeting script in the OmniScript, and instruct the agents to read it aloud

 The purpose of a DataRaptor Load is to write data to Salesforce objects. A DataRaptor Load can map data from an Interface object or a JSON object to one or more Salesforce objects, and perform insert, update, upsert, or delete operations. A DataRaptor Load can also use formulas and functions to transform the data before writing it to Salesforce

 The calculation engine will select which calculation procedure to run based on Priority. Priority is a field on the calculation procedure object that determines the order in which calculation procedures are executed when there are multiple active ones for a given date. The lower the priority number, the higher the precedence. Date modified, Sequence, and Date created are not factors that affect the calculation procedure selection logic.
