Salesforce Certified OmniStudio Consultant (Plat-Con-201) Exam Practice Test

Answer : B

The consultant can recommend creating a reusable OmniScript to update address information. 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 collects the address information in a consistent way using the same labels and input elements, and then use it in multiple OmniScripts that need to update address information. This will improve the design and maintenance of the OmniScripts.

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

Answer : C

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.

Answer : B, D

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

Answer : D

Comprehensive and Detailed In-Depth The requirement is to identify an OmniScript element that retrieves Salesforce data, formats it as Value/Label pairs, and makes it available for selection in a dropdown list. In Salesforce OmniStudio, the Select element is explicitly designed for this purpose, making it the correct answer.

Here's why D. Select is the correct answer:

Functionality of the Select Element: The Select element in OmniScript creates a dropdown list (or similar UI control) that allows users to choose from a set of options. It can retrieve Salesforce data directly and present it as Value/Label pairs, where the 'Value' is the underlying data (e.g., a picklist value's API name or a record ID) and the 'Label' is the user-friendly display text (e.g., the picklist label or a record name). The Select element supports three option source types:

Manual: Hardcoded options entered by the designer.

SObject: Retrieves options dynamically from a Salesforce object field, such as a picklist or a query result.

Custom: Uses Apex or other custom logic for advanced scenarios.When configured with the 'SObject' option source, the Select element queries Salesforce data (e.g., picklist values from a field like Industry on Account) and returns it as Value/Label pairs for the dropdown.

How It Works:

In the OmniScript Designer, you set the Select element's 'Option Source' to 'SObject' and specify the object (e.g., Case) and field (e.g., Reason). The element then pulls all active picklist values from that field (e.g., Value: Billing, Label: 'Billing Issue') and populates the dropdown.

Alternatively, it can use a DataRaptor Extract to fetch a list of records (e.g., SELECT Id, Name FROM Account), where Id becomes the Value and Name becomes the Label. The retrieved data is automatically formatted as Value/Label pairs for user selection.

Meeting the Requirement: The Select element both retrieves Salesforce data (via direct SObject access or a DataRaptor) and presents it in a dropdown, fulfilling the question's criteria perfectly.

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

A . Lookup: The Lookup element in OmniScript allows users to search for and select a Salesforce record (e.g., finding an Account by typing its name). While it retrieves Salesforce data and displays a list of matching records, it's designed for record selection, not for presenting a predefined set of Value/Label pairs in a dropdown. The Lookup element returns a selected record's ID and optionally other fields, but it doesn't natively format data as a dropdown list of Value/Label pairs---it's more interactive and search-driven.

B . Calculation Action: A Calculation Action performs computations or data manipulations within an OmniScript (e.g., adding numbers or setting variables). It doesn't retrieve Salesforce data on its own (that's the role of a DataRaptor) nor does it present data in a UI component like a dropdown. It's a backend action, not a user-facing element, so it doesn't meet the requirement.

C . DataRaptor Extract Action: This option (likely a typo for 'DataRaptor Extract Action' given the OmniStudio context) refers to an OmniScript action that uses a DataRaptor Extract to retrieve Salesforce data. While it can fetch data and potentially structure it as Value/Label pairs (if the DataRaptor is configured to query a picklist field or map Id and Name), it's not an 'element' that displays a dropdown---it's an action that supplies data to other elements (like Select). The Select element uses this data, but the DataRaptor Extract Action itself doesn't render the UI.

Key Distinction:

The Select element is the only option listed that is both an OmniScript element (a UI component) and capable of retrieving Salesforce data (either directly or via a DataRaptor) to populate a dropdown with Value/Label pairs. Other tools like DataRaptors support the process, but Select is the end-point for display and interaction.

Answer : A

The type of action that the consultant should recommend to meet this new requirement is Email. 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 add a new action to the FlexCards that sends an email to the customer with a summary report attached

Answer : B

The requirement is for a FlexCard (parent card) to launch a child card with additional information and actions when an agent clicks a button. In Salesforce OmniStudio, the Flyout Action is the specific mechanism designed within FlexCards to achieve this, making B the most precise and correct answer.

Here's why B. Design the parent card to launch a child card through a Flyout Action is the correct answer:

Flyout Action Overview: A Flyout Action in FlexCards is an interactive feature that displays a pop-up panel (flyout) when triggered, typically by a button or link. This flyout can contain a child FlexCard, OmniScript, or custom content, showing additional details or enabling actions related to the parent card's data.

Meeting the Requirement:

Child Card Launch: The Flyout Action can embed a child FlexCard, which displays supplemental information (e.g., related records or details) and includes actions (e.g., buttons to update data).

Button Trigger: In the FlexCard Designer, the consultant can add a Button element to the parent card, configure its action type as ''Flyout,'' and link it to a child FlexCard. When the agent clicks the button, the flyout appears with the child card.

Contextual Data: The parent card's data (e.g., a record ID) can be passed to the child card via the Flyout Action's context parameters, ensuring the child card shows relevant information.

Example: If the parent card displays a customer's summary (name, account number), clicking the button could launch a child card in a flyout showing order history and a button to initiate a return, all tied to the parent card's account ID.

Now, let's examine why the other options are incorrect or less optimal:

A . Design the parent card to launch a child card when the specific action is taken: While this is conceptually correct, it's vague and lacks specificity. ''Launch a child card'' isn't a defined OmniStudio action---Flyout Action is the actual mechanism to achieve this. Thus, B is the more precise answer, as it names the tool explicitly supported by FlexCards.

C . Design the parent card to launch a new DataRaptor when the specific action is taken: A DataRaptor (e.g., DataRaptor Extract) retrieves or manipulates data, not displays a UI like a child card. While a DataRaptor might fetch data for the child card, it doesn't ''launch'' anything visible to the agent, making this option irrelevant to the UI requirement.

D . Design the parent card to launch a new OmniScript when the specific action is taken: An OmniScript could be launched via a FlexCard action (e.g., an ''OmniScript'' action type), but it's a guided process, not a ''child card.'' The requirement specifies a child card (implying another FlexCard), not a multi-step script, so a Flyout Action with a child FlexCard is more appropriate than an OmniScript.
