A company has an OmniScript that allows agents to schedule service calls. The first step displays the account name, primary contact name, and telephone number to the user for confirmation. On the second step, it displays available appointment slots, which are retrieved from an external service in XML and then transformed into JSON. The following actions are currently used in the OmniScript:
* DataRaptor Extract Action
* HTTP Action
* DataRaptor Transform Action
Following best practices, what can the consultant recommend to reduce processing time?
Answer : A
The consultant should recommend adding a Set Errors element to meet this requirement. A Set Errors element can display an error message and prevent the OmniScript from proceeding if certain conditions are not met. The consultant can use a Set Errors element to check if the email address field is empty when the agent selects the checkbox to email the receipt.If it is empty, the Set Errors element can show an error message and direct the user to return to the first step and enter the customer's email address
The design team creates a mock-up proposal of an OmniScript for sales that includes more than 25 steps. Th consultant reviews the proposal and sees that the OmniScript will be used for three different and complex sal processes: change of plan, new sale, and loyalty. The user will select the type of sale at the beginning of the interaction, and then the OmniScript will branch into either change of plan, new sales, or loyalty processes. E process will contain multiple decision points for the user.
Following best practices, what should the consultant recommend to improve the planned design of this OmniScript?
Answer : D
The consultant should recommend creating a specific OmniScript for each business process to improve the planned design of this OmniScript. Having one OmniScript for three different and complex sales processes will make the OmniScript too long and complicated, and will affect the performance and maintainability.Creating separate OmniScripts for each process will make them more manageable and user-friendly, and will also allow for more customization and flexibility
A company uses Expression Sets to determine product pricing. Due to the company's pricing schedules, there is always more than one Expression Set active at one time for a given date.
In this scenario, how will the calculation engine select which Expression Set to run?
Answer : A
Rank (A) -- The Expression Set with the highest rank is selected by the Calculation Engine when multiple active Expression Sets exist for the same date.
This ensures that the most relevant pricing rule is applied based on the company's prioritization strategy.
B . Date modified -- The modification date does not determine priority for execution.
C . Date created -- The system does not use the creation date to prioritize which Expression Set to execute.
D . Sequence -- Sequence applies within an Expression Set but does not control selection between multiple active Expression Sets.

Which Omniscript element enables users to choose from a dropdown list?
Answer : A
The requirement is to identify an OmniScript element that enables users to choose from a dropdown list. In Salesforce OmniStudio, the Select element is specifically designed for this purpose, making A the correct answer.
Here's why A. Select is the correct answer:
Select Element Overview: The Select element in OmniScript creates a dropdown list (or similar UI control like a radio button group, depending on settings) that allows users to pick one option from a predefined set. It's a user-facing input element that supports:
Manual Options: Hardcoded values entered in the designer.
SObject Options: Values retrieved from a Salesforce field (e.g., picklist values).
DataRaptor/Custom Options: Dynamic values from a DataRaptor Extract or Apex.
Dropdown Functionality: By default, when configured as a ''Dropdown'' in the Style settings, the Select element renders as a dropdown menu, enabling users to choose from a list (e.g., selecting a Case Priority like 'High,' 'Medium,' 'Low').
Meeting the Requirement: The Select element directly fulfills the need for a dropdown list, providing a simple, interactive way for users to make a selection within an OmniScript.
Now, let's examine why the other options are incorrect:
B . Calculation Action: A Calculation Action performs backend computations or data manipulations (e.g., multiplying values or setting variables). It's not a UI element and doesn't present a dropdown list for user interaction.
C . Lookup: The Lookup element allows users to search for and select a Salesforce record (e.g., an Account) via a searchable popup. While it involves selection, it's not a dropdown list---it's a dynamic search interface that returns a record, not a predefined list of options.
D . DataRaptor Extract Action: This action (correcting the typo 'Data Mapper Extract Action') retrieves Salesforce data using a DataRaptor Extract, but it's a backend process, not a UI element. It can supply data to a Select element for a dropdown, but it doesn't enable user selection itself.

A business has a project that must be completed soon in order to meet important deadlines. However, the developer on the project has left the company, and the new team on the project has decided to use OmniStudio tools. The development work completed so far was done using APEX code. The new team must complete the project following these guidelines:
* Minimize implementation time
* Ensure end-user processes are as simple as possible
* Find a way to ensure optimal UX
In this scenario, what two actions should the consultant recommend to the project team'
Choose 2 answers
Answer : C
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.
A company has an existing OmniScript that agents use to create new billing accounts. It currently has three steps to capture the required information:
* Step 1: account name and legal number
* Step 2: billing cycle and monthly due date
* Step 3: email and telephone number
After each step, a DataRaptor is used to update the account information in Salesforce.
Following best practices, which two improvements can the consultant recommend for this OmniScript?
Choose 2 answers
Answer : B, C
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.
You want to update 500 Leads through a Data Loader. In the CSV file, you have three columns (ID,
Email, and Phone). Also, there are some blank values in the rows (some records do not have email,
and some do not have a phone). You do not want null values in the records when updating the
values. Which of the following options should you use to do this?
Answer : A
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.
