View attachments inline

Valid from Pega Version 7.4

You can now view thumbnails of PDF file and image attachments and icons of video attachments in Pulse, cases, and other areas of the application that allow you to attach files. Thumbnails provide a preview of your attachments inline. You can also play video attachments and expand the thumbnails of PDF file and image attachments to view them in readable formats.

For more information, see Inline preview of attachments.

Ability to annotate case attachments

Valid from Pega Version 7.4

Pega® Platform application users can now add annotations to images that are attached to cases. For example, users can draw around an area of an image to highlight a faulty element of the device. Users can annotate all images, except for signature images or attachments that are stored in Pega Cloud or other external data stores. The annotated case attachments replace the original ones.

For more information, see Case attachment annotations.

Support for multiple attachments added to Pulse

Valid from Pega Version 7.4

You can now upload more than one attachment to posts and comments in Pulse. Because Pulse maintains the continuity of attachments in posts, email messages, and email notifications, you can use it to quickly follow conversations in a case.

For more information about the features that Pulse supports, see Communicating with Pulse.

Pulse enhancements

Valid from Pega Version 7.4

The enhanced layout of the Pulse interface provides a better user experience for posting messages, adding attachments, bookmarking content, and so on. You can now post messages in your activity feed, format messages, add inline images and links to messages, reference cases, and view the list of users who like messages. The Pulse email templates have also been improved to display email content in a coherent and structured format.

Activity feed displays application messages

Valid from Pega Version 7.4

The activity feed for Pulse now displays messages within the context of the application of the logged-in user. If a user posts messages within the context of the application, all the users of the application can view the messages in their activity feed. Users can select the filter for application messages to view only these messages. For example, application messages can be used for release announcements.

Limited question and answer formats in new surveys

Valid from Pega Version 7.4

Complex questions and some answer formats for simple questions, such as attachment, are not supported by the new surveys that you create. Although you can create stand-alone questions in your survey library that use these formats, you can add these questions to legacy surveys only.

For more information about supported answer formats, see Answer formats for questions in a survey.

pxFeed replaces pxContextFeed and pxActivityFeed Pulse gadgets

Valid from Pega Version 7.4

The pxContextFeed and pxActivityFeed gadgets have been replaced by the pxFeed gadget to integrate the functionalities of viewing and posting messages in the Pulse activity feed. You can include this gadget within a section or harness across your application, for example, in the dashboard of the Case Manager portal, to display the activity feed. You must add the latest UI Kit ruleset to ensure that your application uses the pxFeed gadget instead of the pxContextFeed and pxActivityFeed gadgets to generate the activity feed.

For more information, see Pulse gadget and custom APIs.
