Question

When a flow runs an action, it generates a runtime value, which stays the same for the duration of the flow. What is the name of this runtime value?

Options

  • ATrigger runtime value
  • BSequence runtime value
  • CStarting runtime value
  • DData pill runtime value
  • EInput runtime value

Explanation

The runtime value generated by a flow action, which persists throughout the flow, is known as a data pill.

Common mistakes.

  • A. While a trigger provides initial runtime values, the general term for values generated by any action (not just the trigger) that persist for the flow's duration is a data pill.
  • B. Sequence runtime value is not a standard term used in Flow Designer for persistent values.
  • C. Starting runtime value is not a standard term used in Flow Designer for persistent values.
  • E. Input runtime value refers to a value being provided to an action, not the generated output value that then persists throughout the flow.
