Advance cases from a push notification screen
Valid from Pega Version 7.3.1
You can now approve and reject Pega® Platform cases from your mobile device without opening a custom mobile app. Push notifications that you receive on a mobile device now display buttons that allow you to advance a case.
For more information, see Notifications.
The Run Data Flow shape replaces the Run Interaction shape
Valid from Pega Version 7.3.1
The Run Interaction shape in flows has been replaced by the Run Data Flow shape to introduce a consistent way of making decisions and capturing responses. You can now run a single-case data flow by referencing the data flow in the Run Data Flow shape. The data flow must have an abstract input and abstract or dataset output.
For more information, see Running a decision strategy from a flow, About Data Flow rules and Interactions in flows are no longer supported by the Run Interaction shape.
Interactions in flows are no longer supported by the Run Interaction shape
Valid from Pega Version 7.3.1
The Run Interaction shape in flows has been replaced by the Run Data Flow shape, which supports running a single case data flow with a strategy. Flows that include the Run Interaction shape continue to work; however, you must now use the Utility shape to reference any new interactions that you create.
For more information, see Running a decision strategy from a flow and About Interaction rules.
Post Pulse messages to cases from a push notification screen
Valid from Pega Version 7.3.1
If your mobile device uses Android 7.0 or later, or iOS 9.0 or later, you can now respond to Pulse messages in Pega® Platform cases without opening a custom mobile app. Push notifications received on a mobile device now display a button so that you can respond immediately to the notification.
For more information, see Notifications.
Support for optimization of offline packaging during synchronization
Valid from Pega Version 7.3.1
You can now optimize offline packaging during full and delta synchronization of an offline-enabled application. Enabling this option for an offline-enabled application means that a case is packaged during delta synchronization only when a new work item for the case is added to the user's worklist and the case was not previously packaged during full or delta synchronization. The case is packaged during full synchronization only when the work item for the case exists in the user's worklist. This feature is useful in field service applications where field service agents usually work on existing assignments and do not need to create new cases.
For more information, see Offline packaging optimization during synchronization.
Specify a model transparency policy for predictive models
Valid from Pega Version 7.3.1
Specify a model transparency policy in Pega® Platform to indicate predictive models that are compliant or non-compliant to use in particular business issues. Increase the transparency threshold of particular business issues to allow the use of more transparent models. Decrease the transparency threshold to allow for the use of less transparent and opaque models. Models with a transparency score below the transparency threshold are marked as non-compliant.
For more information, see Model transparency for predictive models.
Define custom dimensions in VBD data sets
Valid from Pega Version 7.3.1
Beginning with version 7.3.1, you can define custom dimensions when you create a Visual Business Director (VBD) data set in Pega® Platform. With this option, you can use any custom or existing property from the Applies To class of the VBD data set as a dimension to visualize your data, in addition to the properties in the default set of dimensions.
For more information, see Creating a Visual Business Director data set record.
Custom scaling on x-axis for bubble charts
Valid from Pega Version 7.3.1
Bubble charts now support custom scaling for the x-axis as well as the y-axis. For example, you can now configure a fixed range for the x-axis.
For information about including a chart in a report, see Adding or editing charts from the Report Definition rule form.
Enable users to save charts as .png files
Valid from Pega Version 7.3.1
You can now enable users to save a report chart as a .png file. On the Chart tab of the Report Definition rule form, click General settings and select the Export chart to image check box. When you select this option, users are provided with the Save as image option, which they can use to save an image of the chart to include in a Word document or email.
For information about including a chart in a report, see Adding or editing charts from the Report Definition rule form.
Enhancements to exporting reports to Excel
Valid from Pega Version 7.3.1
When you export report results to Microsoft Excel, the process now creates a Data sheet and an Info sheet in the Excel file. By default, the Info sheet contains the report title, filters used to generate the report, the date when the report was generated, and the number of results returned.
If you want the report title and filters to display in the first sheet instead of the Info sheet, you can disable the default functionality. For more information, see Disabling the creation of an Info sheet in Excel output.
