Field value inspector in Live UI
Valid from Pega Version 7.2.1
Easily identify and translate field values with the field value inspector. You can also use the field value inspector to validate translations and update missing or incorrect translations. The field value inspector is on the Localize tab of Live UI.
For more information, see Field Value Inspector.
Categorize repeating dynamic layouts
Valid from Pega Version 7.2.1
Rows of a repeating dynamic layout can be categorized by a property. Categorization is useful for creating date-based navigation or categorizing list items. You can also set the maximum height of a repeating dynamic layout in the Presentation tab of the repeating dynamic layout properties. You configure categorization on the Operations tab of the repeating dynamic layout.
For more information see Repeating dynamic layout - Operations tab.
Flexbox-based dynamic layouts not supported for Android 4.4 and earlier
Valid from Pega Version 7.2.1
Flexbox-based dynamic layouts are not supported in Android 4.4 and earlier. When developing applications to be used on devices running Android 4.4 and earlier, use the inline-block layout mode for dynamic layouts.
Show multiple views of data in your application
Valid from Pega Version 7.2.2
You can now show multiple views of data in your application by adding the record editor (pxRecordsEditor) section to a layout, another section, or a cell in a layout. You can configure the section to customize the display and enable the search, import, and export capabilities of the record editor.
For more information, see Multiple views of data in the record editor section.
Support for additional rule types for PegaUnit test cases
Valid from Pega Version 7.2.2
To compare the expected results with the results that are returned by running a rule, you can now create PegaUnit test cases for the following rule types:
- Activities
- Data transforms
- Strategies
- Decision trees
- Decision tables
After you unit test these rules, you can convert them to test cases and configure assertions on the test cases. You can also set up the clipboard with data before tests are run, and clean up the clipboard after tests are run.
For more information, see PegaUnit testing.
Page assertions are supported for PegaUnit test cases
Valid from Pega Version 7.2.2
You can now create page assertions for PegaUnit test cases. Because data transforms and activities can create or remove pages, you can configure page assertions to determine whether a page exists after you run PegaUnit test cases.
For more information, see Configuring page assertions.
Authenticate REST data sources by using OAuth 2.0
Valid from Pega Version 7.2.2
You can now authenticate the data sources that are created from your REST integration by configuring OAuth 2.0 authentication in the New REST Integration wizard. You can specify or create an OAuth 2.0 authentication profile in the wizard by using the client credentials or authorization code grant type.
For more information, see OAuth 2.0 in REST integration.
Pega Composite Gateway not required for Pega Web Mashup
Valid from Pega Version 7.2.1
The Pega Composite Gateway servlet (prgateway.rar file) is no longer required for Pega Web Mashup gadgets. You can now use web mashups without deploying the Gateway. Support for the Gateway will continue, but it is a best practice not to use it for the Pega Web Mashup in Pega 7.2.1 and later versions.
Customized data imports
Valid from Pega Version 7.2.2
You can now further customize the data import process in Data Designer by:
- Setting a default import purpose and preventing the selection of an import purpose to speed up frequent imports of the same kind
- Removing the import purposes that you do not need for your data type
- Defining a default field mapping between the fields in the .csv file and the fields in your data type that act as a unique identifier (key), to save time during the import process
- Skipping the import progress screen and showing progress contextually within your application
- Including the link for data import anywhere in your application or calling it in the background from a service or agent
For more information, see Data import customization.
Build consistent, high-quality sections with design templates
Valid from Pega Version 7.2.2
The Pega 7 Platform provides predefined design templates that you can apply to your sections. Templates eliminate the need to design or copy another layout each time you want to design a section. You also can create custom design templates that can be shared with other users. Custom templates can contain regions (dynamic layouts) that you can further customize for each section.
For more information, see Designing sections by using design templates.
