Pega Customer Decision Hub Dynamic System Settings

Updated on August 4, 2022

Pega Customer Decision Hub uses Dynamic System Settings to manage various configurable items. Most of these settings are owned by the PegaMKT-Engine and PegaMKT-Install rulesets. In addition, some settings are owned by the PegaMKT-Install, PegaMKT-Portal, and PegaMKT-PushNotification rulesets. Administrators can edit these settings to modify the behavior of various elements.
