Data pages can source information from a robotic desktop automation
Valid from Pega Version 8.1
You can now configure data pages to source information from robotic desktop automations (RDA). Using an RDA to source a data page allows you to connect your Pega Platform™ application to any application that is accessible from an end-user's desktop. By using automations to retrieve data and load it into a data page, you can use data virtualization to separate your Pega Platform data model from the physical interface of a legacy system against which the automation is running.
For more information, see Obtaining information from robotic automations.
Translation support added to application guides
Valid from Pega Version 8.1
You can now localize the content in your application guides. By referencing paragraphs instead of rich text in your chapters and tasks, you can provide guidance to users in their native language.
For more information about application guides, see Creating a guide for end users.
Add Robotic Automation capabilities to your application by using the Connect Robot rule
Valid from Pega Version 8.2
Pega Platform™ supports a new Connect Robot rule that you can use to integrate robotic automation capabilities into your application. You can publish information about automation bundles from Robotic Automation Studio directly to Dev Studio and automatically generate and display new rules. Also, when you source data pages from robotic desktop automations (RDA), Pega Platform displays a list of automations from which you can choose.
