UI Kit for building and customizing UI
Valid from Pega Version 7.1.6
The UI Kit ruleset (UI-Kit-7) contains rules and skin for building or customizing user interfaces with the latest standard Pega UI, designed to ensure a responsive mobile-friendly UI.
By default, Application Express adds this ruleset to new applications built on the PegaRULES application. To use this ruleset in existing applications, or any applications built on a framework, add it to the Application ruleset list on your application form's Definition tab. Updating the UI Kit with the latest version allows you to take advantage of the latest features and styling. At the same time, this delivery mechanism of the UI Kit will ensure backward compatibility, providing a non-disruptive upgrade.
The UI Kit is delivered as a locked ruleset, and you can customize the rules by copying them into your application ruleset.
Fixed portal type deprecated
Valid from Pega Version 7.1.6
Existing portals configured as fixed still work, but there is no longer an option to create a new fixed portal type.
Set X-UA-Compatible mode on harness
Valid from Pega Version 7.1.6
Because Internet Explorer (IE) compatibility mode can adversely affect the standards mode in the Pega 7 UI, harness browser mode settings now expose the X-UA-Compatibility mode on a harness.
In previous versions of PRPC, this setting was hidden behind a when rule.
Pick modal dialog templates
Valid from Pega Version 7.1.6
Improved modal templates can be customized and used wherever a modal dialog is launched.
Application Express and the Content Security Policy
Valid from Pega Version 7.1.7
Application Express copies (if defined) the Content Security Policy (CSP) name (pyContentSecurityPolicyName) from the built-on application in a new application. It also sets the CSP mode (pyContentSecurityPolicyMode) to report. The values appear in the Content Security area on the application rule's Integration & Security tab.
When checking an application in the DCO Compatibility tool, a warning appears if the CSP name is missing.
Remove frames for single document dynamic containers
Valid from Pega Version 7.1.6

the Use Legacy iFrame mode check box.
