____provides a visual method for modeling a process in your application using shapes and connectors to define a sequence of events.

A flow rule

____ represents a task that is accomplished as part of a business process. These are differentiated by color, symbol, and name.

A flow shape

Flow rules represent a ____________ in the case life cycle.

A process

Flow shapes represent ____________.

tasks to be completed as part of a business process

The Start shape indicates the beginning of flow processing. Each flow rule must contain a single Start shape. A single Start shape is automatically added to every flow rule.

The Assignment shape creates a task in a work list or workbasket so a user can provide input to the case. Typically, the user either provides information or selects an outcome.

The Subprocess shape indicates a reference to another flow rule from the current flow rule. Portions of a process can be divided into a smaller process to enable reuse in other flow rules.


The Utility shape indicates an automated system action. Pega executes automated system actions, without requiring human intervention. Examples of automated system actions include changing the stage of the current case, sending an email, or creating a new case.

The Decision shape indicates an automated step used to determine the path a case takes. A Decision shape evaluates an expression or calls a decision rule to determine which step is next in the flow progression.

The End shape indicates the end of flow processing. Each flow rule may include one or more End shapes to represent the potential end points of the process.
Each flow shape connects to other flow shapes through the use of a connector. The Connector is used to define the sequence of flow execution. The flow execution begins with the Start shape and proceeds from one shape to the next in the order the shapes are connected to each other.

Which standard flow shape creates a task in a work list or workbasket?

Assignment

Which standard flow shape represents an automated system action?

Utility

How many Start shapes can a flow rule contain?

One

____ are preconfigured shapes that perform a specific task, such as sending an email, attaching a file to a case, or changing to a different case stage

Smart Shapes

Change Stage Transitions the case to a different stage in the case life cycle

Send Email Sends an email to one or more work parties

Attach Content Attaches a file, URL, or note to a case

Create PDF Creates a PDF file from a specified section and attaches it to the case

Create Case(s) Creates a top-level case or one or more child cases

Persist Case Converts a temporary case to a permanent object in the database

Post to Pulse Creates a message that is sent to the Pulse social stream

Update a caseUpdates the case or all child cases and descendants

Approval Routes a case to one or more reviewers, based on a user name, reporting structure, or authority matrix

Duplicate SearchReturns a list of cases that match the search criteria that are defined in the case type

Smart shapes are ____________________.

pre-defined shapes configured to perform a specific task

__ enables you to add flow shapes and connectors that reference other rules, even when those other rules do not yet exist.

Draft mode

A connector is used to _________________


(Name 3)

Identify an outcome of a decision.


Identify the order of events in a process.


Indicate possible branches of a process.

On a Pega project, who is typically responsible for designing the application architecture?

Lead System Architect (LSA)

Which two tasks do system architects perform on a Pega project?

Configure UI forms


Develop feature prototypes

System architects work with ___ to develop specifications that describe elements of the application design.

Business Architects

What is the purpose of a rule in a Pega application?
A rule is an instruction for describing a specific case behavior, such as a process or automated decision.

What is a ruleset?

A group of rules

What is a ruleset version?

individual rules collected into a subset of a ruleset


Identified by it's name and ruleset number

What are the 3 segments a version number is broken into

a major version, a minor version, and a patch version

Each application consists of a sequence of rulesets which is called a

ruleset stack

Each application consists of what 3 classes?

A work class — The work class contains the rules that describe how to process a case or cases, such as processes, data elements, and user interfaces.


A integration class — The integration class contains the rules that describe how the application interacts with other systems, such as a customer database or a third-party web server.


A data class — The data class contains the rules that describe the data objects used in the application, such as a customer or collection of order items.

The classes that comprise an application are called a

Class hierarchy

What is a rule type

Determines the type of behavior modeled by the rule

What does an identifier do

Identifies the purpose of the rule aka Label

What does a calss identify

The scope of the rule; done in the Apply to field

What is a ruleset

container for the rule


Identifies, stores, and manages the set of rules that define an applicatoin or a major point of an application

With rule resolution, Pega....

determines the appropriate rule to run when an application calls a rule

What is a personal ruleset

When rule check out creates a copy of a rule in a rulest only visible to you

What is pattern inheritance

describes the business relationship between classes & to share rules with other applications throughout an organization

What is directed inheritance

Describes the functional relationship between classes

An application references a data element found in the Work-class. How is this rule inherited by the application

By applying directed inheritance.

What are the 2 items of information that are used to uniquely identify a rule.

The class of the rule


They type of the ruel

Each application requires a data element to track the status of cases. What is the best strategy for implementing this requirement?

Check the inheritance path to determine if an appropriate data element already exists.

You check out a rule to update it. While the rule is checked out, another developer decides to test a case type by creating and processing the case. What happens when the application attempts to use the rule you checked out?

The application ignores the checked-out version and uses the previous version in the application ruleset.

What is an operator record

Contains infomration about the operator; such as:


Name, Position, Organizational Hierarchy, Location

What is an access group

An access group restricts access functionality wihtin your application.


Can have multiple access groups for same application to achieve different levels of access control.


Identifies the application a user opens when logging into Designer Studio

What is the purpose of the complaince score for an application

The compliance score provides a quantifiable assessment of application quality by indicating the amount and severity of rule warnings in an application.

___ is a template for creating ___ at run time

Case type, cases

In an mortgage application, the user creates a loan request. In order for the loan request to be approved, the loan officer must receive the results of an appraisal.

Make loan request a parent case type, and appraisal a child case type.
