Description

In the Description field, enter a short description (2-3 lines) that describes the purpose of the mission. For example:

Begin your journey as a business architect with Pega technology by learning the capabilities of App Studio to develop applications on Pega Platform. Apply Design Thinking and the Pega Express methodology to define the right scope and yield faster business results. Influence the design of applications to support building for change, gain better business insight, and achieve greater user adoption.

Attention: Do not include a list of overall mission objectives. Objectives are added to each module.
Note: As a best practice for UX, do not include a Note tag or similar at the beginning of a description. The first 144 characters of the description are displayed on the content card in search results to provide users with a quick preview of the content.

Training Library

Add terms from the Training Library to indicate if the mission is a specific type of training. For example, Sales training, Corporate training, or UAP training.

Note: Training Library terms can be used on Pega Academy as a search filter.

To add a term from the Training Library:

  1. Click Add term from Training Library
  2. Select one of the training categories.
    "Training Type"

Member-type access

Use Member-type access to determine who can view the mission.

Select one or more roles to restrict mission visibility.

Note: To provide access for all, leave the Member-type access checkboxes clear.
Attention: A mission can only contain modules whose member-type access settings are equal to or less restrictive than the member-type access settings of the mission. For example, if the member-type access setting in the module is Pega only, the module can only be included in a mission whose member-type access setting is also Pega-only. If the member-type access setting in the mission is set to anything but Pega-only, you cannot include the Pega-only module in the mission.

For more information about member-type access settings, see the article Member-type access settings.

Organization access

The Organization Accessfield automatically populates to restrict viewing access of unpublished content to only members of your organization; the content is searchable from the Master Content list but is unable to be opened and edited.

Select the Bypass Organization Access to Allow members of other organizations check box to allow members outside your organization to edit the unpublished content.

Organization access field and bypass organization access check box
Note: Member-access settings override the organization bypass functionality. For example, if content is set to Pega-only, using the Bypass Organization check box does not work to allow Partner view or edit access.

Badge ID

Badge IDs are automatically associated to a mission.
