Add additional columns to customized work history tables
Valid from Pega Version 7.1.6
The standard work history table, pc_history_work, contains two new columns that return the latitude and longitude coordinate location of the action that prompted the history. Mobile devices can display this location as a street address. If you have a customized work history table, add these two columns to it:
<decimal name="pxLatitude" size="19" scale="9"/>
<decimal name="pxLongitude" size="19" scale="9"/>
