32 cards. Read the term and the definition here. The deck at the top of this page is optional.
- Case Lifecycle
- The ordered set of stages (Create, Process, Resolve) and processes a case type follows from creation to resolution; alternate stages can run in parallel with the primary stage.
- Primary Stage
- The stage that determines whether a case can resolve; a case cannot reach the Resolve stage until its primary stage has completed all its processes.
- Subprocess Shape
- A flow shape that calls another flow synchronously and returns to the parent flow when the called flow reaches its End shape.
- Spin-off Flow
- A flow that runs asynchronously from the parent case, typically used for long-running work that should not block the main case lifecycle.
- Service Level Agreement
- A rule attached to an assignment, process, or stage that defines goal, deadline, and passed-deadline intervals, each triggering an escalation action when exceeded.
- Work Queue
- A container that holds assignments for a work group; operators in the group pull work from the queue rather than receiving assignments directly.
- Declare Trigger
- A rule that fires when a database event (insert, update, delete) occurs on an instance of a specified class, not on in-memory property changes.
- Declare Expression
- A rule that computes a target property from source properties using forward or backward chaining, recalculating when a source value changes.
- Pattern Inheritance
- Inheritance that follows the class name hierarchy (e.g., MyApp-Work-Case follows MyApp-Work), searched before directed inheritance.
- Directed Inheritance
- Inheritance configured explicitly on a class via its parent class setting; it is searched after pattern inheritance fails to find the rule.
- Data Page Scope
- The lifetime of a data page: Thread (per interaction), Requestor (per requestor session), or Application (shared across the application).
- Savable Data Page
- An editable data page configured with a save data transform or activity so changes made on the clipboard can be persisted back to the source system.
- Circumstanced Rule
- A rule qualified by property values, a date range, or a template; when the condition matches at runtime, it overrides the base rule.
- Page Group Property
- A property type that holds a keyed map of pages, where each entry is accessed by a string key rather than by numeric index.
- Optimistic Locking
- A concurrency control where obj-save compares the stored pxUpdateDateTime with the clipboard value and raises a conflict if the row changed.
- Data Transform Actions
- Set assigns a value to a target property; Append to adds to a page or list; the To clipboard action writes the result to the clipboard.
- Harness Rule
- A rule that wraps a section and supplies the portal header, navigation, and action area; pyDefault is the standard harness for case processing.
- Dynamic Layout
- A section layout that arranges fields in a responsive grid; its column settings determine how content stacks on smaller screens.
- Repeating Dynamic Layout
- A layout that renders one row per page in a Page List or Page Group, with row-level actions and pagination controlled by the repeat grid settings.
- Flow Action
- A rule that defines the form and processing for an assignment; it specifies the section shown and the pre- and post-processing activities.
- Action Set
- A configuration on a control that fires events (click, change, blur) and invokes a local action, data transform, or flow action.
- Skin Rule
- A rule that sets the portal's visual appearance, including colors, fonts, and responsive breakpoints, applied across the application.
- Cosmos Theme
- The modern Pega UI kit that supplies default styling for components; it can be overridden per component with a style preset.
- Section Include
- A section rule type that embeds another section inside the current section, allowing reusable content to be composed into multiple forms.
- Authentication
- The process of verifying a user's identity, using LDAP, SAML, OpenID Connect, or Pega native authentication before any authorization check occurs.
- Access of Role to Object
- An ARO rule that grants a role a specific access mode (read, write, delete, execute) on a class and its instances.
- Privilege
- A named capability that a role must be granted; it is checked by an Access When rule or a When rule at runtime.
- Access Control Policy
- A conditional rule evaluated before the ARO that can grant or deny access based on property values, enabling attribute-based access control.
- Access When Rule
- A rule that returns true or false to gate access; it is referenced by an ARO or policy to make authorization conditional.
- Property Encryption
- A property-level setting that encrypts the value at rest using a configured cipher such as AES and decrypts it when read.
- Audit Trail
- The pxAuditTrail record that logs changes to case data, including who changed what and when, for compliance and troubleshooting.
- Account Lockout
- A security policy that disables an operator ID after a configured number of failed login attempts, incrementing a counter on each failure.
