Revamped view authoring in Cosmos React
Valid from Pega Version 8.6
Applications that use Cosmos React now feature updated case and portal authoring tools, including more templates, improved view editing, and more intuitive management of UI components.
This change empowers citizen developers to build applications through configuration as opposed to customization, and reduces development time while also providing a prescriptive environment for creating optimal customer experience.
For more information, see Configuring forms and views.
Enhancements in list view authoring and run-time editing of Cosmos React tables
Valid from Pega Version 8.6
Cosmos React tables now offer an enriched and more convenient way of authoring and editing. You can now achieve the following results:
- Enable editing in the list view template that holds your table so that users can instantly change values inline or preview and edit a referenced object from the table in a pop-up window.
- Change the label, format, or helper text for a column at design time.
- Create multiple preset views with different filters, and switch between these views at run time.
- Perform a variety of optional actions on a table row, such as update, change stage, preview, and open a row in a new tab.
These enhancements result in a better user experience by making tables more customizable, intuitive, and interactive.

Extended support for Cosmos React tables in Pega Infinity applications
Valid from Pega Version 8.6
Cosmos React tables are now available to Pega Infinity™ pages. Previously, when you enabled Cosmos React UI for landing pages in your application, you could add the React-based tables only to landing pages. With this enhancement, you can also embed tables in a section that is part of your case view or dashboard page.
For more information, see Adding a React table to a section.
Consistent authoring experience for sections
Valid from Pega Version 7.3
Section references inside a dynamic layout have the same configuration options as a top-level section within a section (section include). Section references reduce the need for included sections, reduce the size of the document object model (DOM), and provide a more consistent authoring experience. You can specify a container format, set view and update privileges, and defer content load for sections within or outside of a dynamic layout. For more information see Harness and Section forms - Adding a section.
Enhanced performance and usability of Cosmos React tables
Valid from Pega Version 8.6
With the new Cosmos React tables, you can now handle large data sets with no impact on performance or user experience. Cosmos React tables now also come with a rich set of field-type specific column formats, which you can conveniently change at design time as well as at run time, depending on your needs. For example, you can now do the following actions:
- Customize a date column from a default format (MMDDYY) to readable text ("10 days ago").
- Save the new setting in your personalized view.
- Freeze and rearrange columns.
- Enable aggregations (sum, min, max, avg) on the number and currency fields.
- Display aggregation values also at the grouped-row level.
The new enhancements make data in tables more easily explorable and significantly reduce the need to produce additional reports.
