For Omnistudio on standard runtime, see [Omnistudio Help](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=xcloud.os_omnistudio_standard.htm&language=en_US). ## Common Data Source Properties These properties are shared by all data sources. See [Configure a Data Source on a Flexcard (Managed Package)](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=xcloud.os_configure_a_data_source_on_a_flexcard.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "For the managed package runtime, configure a data source on a Flexcard to retrieve data from a Salesforce object or an external database. A Child Flexcard can have a data source independent of the parent Flexcard or use the data source from the parent Flexcard."). **Delay(ms)** available beginning Summer '21.

Property	Description
Data Source Type	Select the data source type.
Delay(ms)	To prevent bundling this data source call with other server requests and to emphasize its priority, enter a delay time in milliseconds.
Fetch Timeout(ms)	Set an appropriate timeout value to enable the application and users to react accordingly to long wait times. The timeout value controls the time that the framework waits for the designated data source to return a response.
Input Map	When required, pass variables from the Flexcard to the data source.
Key	Enter the variable to pass. For example, pass the contextId `AccountId`.
Value	Enter the value for the variable. For example, enter a merge field, such as `{recordId}` or a static value, such as the alpha-numeric Account Id found in the URL of an Account record page.
Order By	Order the records by a specified field.
Refresh Interval(ms)	Enter the frequency for refreshing data. At each refresh, if the data source records changed, the Flexcard and its child components reload.
Result JSON Path	To drill down to a specific dataset enter a JSON path, such as `['Cases']`. If your entire JSON is an array, such as `[{ "Cases": [{...},{...}]}]`, enter the index with the path. For example, enter `[0]['Cases']`.
Reverse Order	Reverse the order of the returned records.
Test Parameters	Preview a Flexcard using real data by adding test variables that the query can use to return live data.

Property	Description
Asynchronous	Calls the Apex class asynchronously using the long-polling method.
Options Map	Send additional key/value pairs to the Input Map passed to the remote method. Enter a key in the first field, and its value in the second field. The value supports merge field syntax such as `{Name}`.

For example, as a Systems Admin, you want your customer service reps to view the weather forecast of policy holders when on a call. You can use an Integration Procedure with an Omnistudio Data Mapper Extract that returns an account's ZIP code, and a REST API call that uses the ZIP code to get the current forecast for the Account's region.").

This allows you to focus on creating the UI for an application without needing to call an API and process the API response. You only need to call the method of the SDK and the SDK calls the API. The SDK gets the API response, parses that response, then gives it back to the client. The client then consumes the SDK response in the UI so you can design your Flexcard based on the response you receive.").
