The feature that can be used to meet this requirement in an Integration Procedure is Loop Block. Loop Block allows the designer to iterate over a collection of data and perform actions on each item. In this case, a Loop Block can be used to loop over each contact record in the list and perform a multi-step calculation using Calculation Actions or Calculation Procedures. Batch Action is not a feature in Integration Procedure, but a type of Action element that can perform bulk operations on data. Conditional Block is used to specify a condition that determines whether the actions inside the block will run or not. DataRaptor Transform Action is used to transform data from one format to another using templates.

 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

In Salesforce OmniStudio, the Select element within an OmniScript is specifically designed to retrieve and display picklist values from a Salesforce object field, allowing users to choose from a predefined list of options. This element is used to create a dropdown or picklist interface in an OmniScript, enabling users to interact with Salesforce data by selecting a single value from the available options.

Here’s why Select is the correct answer:

The Select element in OmniScript supports multiple methods to populate its options, including retrieving values directly from a Salesforce picklist field. According to the official Salesforce OmniStudio documentation, you can configure the Select element’s “Option Source” to “SObject,” which allows it to fetch picklist values from a specified Salesforce object and field. For example, if you have a picklist field like Industry on the Account object, the Select element can retrieve all active picklist values (e.g., "Technology," "Healthcare," etc.) and present them as a dropdown to the user.

The Select element is highly flexible and supports three option source types:

Manual: Manually defined label-value pairs.

SObject: Retrieves options from a Salesforce object field (such as a picklist).

Custom: Uses an Apex controller for more complex logic.When set to “SObject,” it directly queries the Salesforce schema to pull the picklist metadata, ensuring the values reflect what’s defined in the org.

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

A. DataRaptor Extract Action: A DataRaptor Extract is a powerful tool in OmniStudio used to retrieve data from Salesforce objects, transform it, and pass it to an OmniScript or FlexCard. While it can retrieve picklist data as part of a broader dataset (e.g., extracting a record with a picklist field value), it is not an "element" within an OmniScript, nor is it specifically designed to display or interact with picklist values in a user interface. Instead, it operates behind the scenes as a data retrieval mechanism. The Select element, however, is the UI component that presents those values to the user.

B. Lookup: The Lookup element in OmniScript is used to search for and select a record from a Salesforce object based on user input (e.g., finding an Account by name). It does not retrieve or display picklist values from a field; it retrieves entire records. While it can indirectly involve picklist fields as part of the record data, its primary purpose is record selection, not picklist value retrieval for display.

D. Calculation Action: A Calculation Action in OmniScript performs mathematical or logical operations based on user input or data (e.g., adding two numbers or concatenating strings). It does not retrieve data from Salesforce picklist fields or interact with them directly. Its role is computation, not data retrieval or presentation.

The official Salesforce OmniStudio documentation, specifically the “OmniScript Elements” section, highlights the Select element as the appropriate choice for working with picklist fields in a guided process. For instance, in a scenario where a user needs to choose a Case Reason from a picklist, the Select element fetches the active values (e.g., "Billing Issue," "Technical Support") from the Reason field on the Case object and renders them as a dropdown.

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 three elements that the consultant should include in the OmniScript design solution are: Telephone, Line Break, and Text. A Telephone element can display a field for the user to enter a phone number, with validation and formatting options. A Line Break element can insert a line break between two elements, making them display on separate lines. A Text element can display a field for the user to enter text, such as a website URL

The two OmniScript features that the consultant should recommend are Response Action and Edit Block. A Response Action is an action that can save or submit data from an OmniScript to a Salesforce object or an external system. The consultant can use a Response Action to allow the user to add, edit, or delete dependents related to their policy via their Community portal. An Edit Block is an element that can display a list of records for the user to view, edit, or delete, using an OmniScript or an Integration Procedure. The consultant can use an Edit Block to display the dependents related to the policy, and allow the user to modify them

OmniScripts (D) are designed to automate complex business processes and guide users through interactions using both Salesforce and external data sources.

They can fetch data dynamically, apply business logic, and execute actions such as record updates, API calls, or guided user inputs.

OmniScripts integrate seamlessly with DataRaptors, Integration Procedures, and FlexCards to provide a complete business solution.

A. Integration Procedures – These are used for server-side processing and API calls, but they do not provide user interaction like OmniScripts.

B. FlexCards – These display data but do not automate guided interactions.

C. Expression Sets – These are used for calculations and business rules, but they do not provide guided interactions.
