While FlexCards generally load data on initialization, for long-running processes, the best practice is to offload the wait time. However, strictly speaking, FlexCard data sources are synchronous by default in the rendering lifecycle. The optimal architectural pattern for a 4-second delay is to load the card with a placeholder state and trigger the data load asynchronously, or more commonly, configure the Integration Procedure call with specific timeout/async settings if supported. However, among standard declarative options, the most effective way to not block the UI in a larger dashboard context is ensuring the Integration Procedure is optimized or using the 'Async' options if available in the specific runtime version. Note: In standard FlexCard configuration, blocking the UI is often mitigated by ensuring the IP is performant. If the question implies a specific setting, disabling 'Wait for Response' is not a standard FlexCard data source property. The correct approach for non-blocking UI in complex dashboards is often handling the data fetch via an event or separate component, but within the options provided, configuring the IP execution settings is the closest valid path.

While conditional view on elements works, the 'most efficient' and best-practice method for entirely different layouts or action sets based on data values is to use Card States. This keeps the canvas clean and allows for distinct UI arrangements and actions for each data scenario without cluttering a single state with hidden elements.

OmniStudio Data Mappers (formerly DataRaptors) automatically respect Salesforce Field Level Security (FLS) and Sharing Rules. SOQL queries in FlexCards do not inherently enforce FLS on the fields returned unless explicitly checked in code, making Data Mapper the secure choice for declarative configuration.

The Type Ahead Block is designed for this specific filtered search scenario. Pairing it with a Data Mapper Turbo Extract (formerly DataRaptor Turbo) provides the best performance because Turbo Extract is optimized for single-object queries with simple field retrieval, avoiding the overhead of standard extracts.

To process items individually and handle failures gracefully per item, you place the logic inside a Loop Block. Inside the loop, you wrap the risky action (API call) in a Try-Catch Block. This ensures that if the API throws an error for one iteration, the Catch block handles it, and the Loop continues to the next item.

In a Data Mapper Extract, criteria for retrieving records are defined in the Extract tab. You add filter conditions (e.g., Active__c = 'Yes' and CreatedDate >= LAST_N_DAYS:30) directly on the object step that retrieves the Accounts.
