Group Elements is a category of Omniscript components used to organize the user interface and structure data, which includes specific types like Blocks and Steps. A Block element is a specific type of Group Element used to nest logical groups of fields inside a Step to create structured JSON data.

Core information

Group Elements organize elements and structure the user interface within an Omniscript, affecting how data is structured in the resulting JSON output.

More details and nuances

Blocks don’t support the Custom LWC Element, which is a key consideration when deciding between Block types.
