You can configure automatic flattening or flattening with user intervention for
products and plans to automatically create multiple flattened structures. You can then use
these structures in downstream data such as claims adjudication, or as data input to System
for Electronic Rate and Form Filing (SERFF) files.

The auto-flattening process automatically flattens new or
updated products and plans when they have either
Approved
or
Approved and hold status. The best practice is to
automatically flatten products and plans with no manual intervention. However, based on
your organization's business rules, you might want to flatten products and plans with
user intervention.
- In the header of Dev Studio, click .
- Click the Flow settings tab.
- In the Auto flatten settings section, configure the
option that meets your organization's needs.
| Choice | Action | | To follow the best practice and have flattening occur
automatically with no user intervention | - In the Auto flatten settings section,
select the Enable auto flattening
check box to have flattening occur automatically.
Note: Do not select the User action enabled for
auto-flattening check box. - In the Product stage list of
auto-flatten
section, select the stages in which you
want auto-flattening to occur, for example,
Production.
- Click Save.

Configuring reattempt settings for auto-flattening
Configure settings for the number of times that Pega Product Composer for Healthcare
attempts to flatten entities that have the Pending-Save status
and the calculated time between attempts. Ensure that you allow enough time for the entities
to move from the Pending-Save status to the
Approved or Approved and hold
status.
You can also configure settings for the email account that
is used to alert users that entities continue to have the
Pending-Save status and auto-flattening cannot
proceed.
- In the header of Dev Studio, enter and search for
FlatteningRequeueMaxAttempt.
- Click the Dynamic System Settings rule.
- On the Edit Dynamic Settings page, modify the value for
the number of times that Pega Product Composer for Healthcare attempts
to flatten a dependent entity that has the
Pending-Save status.
- Click Save.
- In the header of Dev Studio, enter and search for
FlatteningRequeueDelay.
- Click the Dynamic System Settings rule.
- On the Edit Dynamic Settings page, modify the value for
the calculated time between reattempts.
For example: If you configured the FlatteningRequeueMaxAttempt rule
as 3 and the FlatteningRequeueDelay rule as 5, then the
first attempt occurs immediately, the second attempt occurs 10 (2 x 5) seconds
later, and the third and last attempt occurs 15 seconds later.
- Click Save.
- Optional: To configure the email account that is used to alert users that auto-flattening
cannot proceed:
- In the navigation pane of Dev Studio, click .
- On the Email Account page, click
PegaPCS-HC-USA-Work and complete the fields.
- Click Save.
