Out-of-the-box portal features for creating and managing cases

Updated on March 29, 2022

Out-of-the-box features in portals help users plan work efficiently and complete common management tasks.

Pega Platform provides a variety of ready-to-use custom pages that cover common work scenarios. For example, you can set up a Teams page to help users quickly find all the teams with which they work, or an Explore Data page that features reporting tools for data and case types.
