Predefined inputs when designing and testing strategies
Valid from Pega Version 7.1.6
External input settings allow for propagating results to other strategies, providing strategy designers with a mechanism to reuse strategies and test strategies with predefined inputs.
Design segmentation trees in strategies
Valid from Pega Version 7.1.6
You can include the traditional segmentation tree pattern in your strategies using the following features:
- Exclusion components to conditionally stop the propagation of decision results.
- Split components to branch the decision results according to the percentage of cases covered by the result.
- The Otherwise label for component connections where one of the outgoing connections has a defined label.
Simplified Adaptive Decision Manager Deployment
Valid from Pega Version 7.1.6
The Adaptive Decision Manager (ADM) server relies on automatic detection of the database dialect. This simplifies the number of deployable archives used to set up the ADM service.
Cumulative calculation in strategies
Valid from Pega Version 7.1.6
Iteration components provide strategies with a mechanism to perform cumulative calculations.
Create data page from REST integration
Valid from Pega Version 7.1.6
When you create a REST integration, you can choose to create a data page (and its related data type and data transforms) that can use the integration as one of its sources.
Use SAML 2.0 to provide single sign-on authentication
Valid from Pega Version 7.1.6
Configure a SAML 2.0 authentication service to provide web single sign-on (SSO) convenience to product users in your enterprise. A one-click option lets you import Identity Provider (IdP) metadata and make use of automated certificate management.
User interface distortions in the Decision Manager portal
Valid from Pega Version 7.1.6
By default, the New Application wizard in Pega 7.1.6 configures new applications to include UI-Kit-7 in the list of application rulesets. This ruleset causes user interface distortions in the Decision Manager portal. Both applications created in previous maintenance level updates and applications created in Pega 7.1.6 that do not include the UI-Kit-7 dependency are not impacted by this known issue.
Workaround:
- Open the application record.
- In Application Rulesets, remove UI-Kit-7.
- Save the application record.
Data Designer lets you explore, develop, and manage the data your application uses
Valid from Pega Version 7.1.7
The Data Designer, new in Pega 7.1.7, is the lens through which you create and manage your application data types, and create properties within the selected data type. The Create Properties wizard is retired, and you now create and manage properties in the Definition tab of the data type you are viewing. You can track how your application uses your data types, and which case types use which data, on the Usage tab. Review the sources for your data types on the Sources tab, and create and manage local data storage for records on the Records tab.
For more information, see About Data Types.
Explore the relationships between data types with the Data Visualizer
Valid from Pega Version 7.1.7
The Data Visualizer, new in Pega 7.1.7, provides a graphical display of the relationships among your application's data types and class types. The map view can help clarify how your application's data works together. When you hover the mouse pointer over an entity in the display, the Data Visualizer highlights the entities with which that entity has a direct relationship.

Application overlays are enhanced to include more rules types that business users can change through the Decision Manager portal
Valid from Pega Version 7.1.7
Revision management overlays have been extended to include additional rule types (decision tree, and map value), enhancing the extent to which business users can review and change the logic used in strategies. For more information on this new feature, see the Revision Management landing page.
