Which statement about card data sources is true?

• A. A card always shares the data source with the layout.
• B. The data source of a layout does not affect any cards.
• C. Cards in the same layout can have different data sources.
• D. A card cannot have its own data source.

Answer: (C)

In OmniStudio FlexCards, each card can connect to its own data source, independently of the layout. This lets you pull different data into different cards within the same layout—for example, one card could use Salesforce data while another uses a REST call. Because per-card data sources are allowed, cards in the same layout can have different data sources, which is why that statement is true. The other ideas aren’t correct because a card isn’t forced to share the layout’s data source, the layout’s data source can influence cards that use it but isn’t mandatory for all, and cards do have the option to specify their own data source.
