Omnistudio Design Assistant
Use Omnistudio Design Assistant to get real-time feedback on component health, design quality, complexity, performance, and best practices during the design stage of your Flexcards and Omniscripts. Use this feedback to create or refine the Omniscript and Flexcard designs, and use the system resources more optimally to prevent issues such as high latency, low throughput, and resource overuse during the design stage, and potential run-time failures.
The visual indicators and notifications that appear on Flexcards and Omniscripts help you
identify and resolve design inefficiencies in real time. For example, the recommended number
of Action Block elements in an Omniscript is 6, and the maximum recommended number is 10. If
you exceed this limit by adding a seventh Action Block element, an informational message icon
appears on the Omniscript designer. Similarly, when you add the 10th Action Block
element, a warning message icon 
appears on the designer. When you click the icon, it shows the number of
informational messages or warning messages, and provides a link to a detailed report in the
Design Assistant panel. After reviewing the report, you can take the necessary steps to manage
your resources and implement best practices, and keep them within the recommended limit.
For more information about the recommended limits for Flexcards and Omniscripts, see Recommended Limits.
Omnistudio Design Assistant:
- Provides a comprehensive report of the Flexcard and Omniscript design alerts, if any.
- Shows real-time, actionable alerts within the Omnistudio designers through visual indicators to highlight performance, complexity, component health, and potential issues.
- Assesses the complexity of the component by measuring the number of elements, data sources, actions, and other factors. This information helps you to simplify complex components.
- Proactively checks the design for best practices, identifies common issues and deviations, and provides feedback to help you align the design with best practices.
