What is the purpose of VCMs?

• A. VCMs take a unique input or set of inputs and return an output or set of outputs.
• B. VCMs store large binary data for archival.
• C. VCMs manage user permissions.
• D. VCMs generate email campaigns.

Answer: (A)

VCMs are data-processing components. They take one input or a set of inputs, run logic or transformations on that data, and return one or more outputs. This makes them ideal for encapsulating reusable calculations or data shaping you need to drive downstream steps in a flow. For example, a VCM could take a base price and discount code as inputs and output the final price and discount amount. They aren’t meant for storing large binaries, managing user permissions, or generating campaigns—those tasks are handled by other features.
