Comparison of report definition, list view, and summary view rules

Updated on October 18, 2019

Introduced in Pega Platform™ 6.1, report definition rules define reports that allow a wide variety of user interactions with the displayed results. Report definition rules replace list view rules and summary view rules (also known as V5 reports). Report definition rules provide most of the functionality of these earlier rule types, plus new features. 

Report definition rules offer several advantages over list view and summary view rules. Most notably, because of the ease-of-use of report definition rules, managers can create, share, modify, and schedule report definition reports with little or no assistance from application developers.

In Pega Platform 7.2 and later, list view and summary view rules are deprecated and no longer supported. Create list reports and summarized reports by using the report definition rule. For more information, see Report definition reports and Deprecated report types.

The following table summarizes the capabilities of each reporting rule type.
