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The pxContextFeed and pxActivityFeed gadgets have been replaced by the pxFeed gadget to integrate the functionalities of viewing and posting messages in the Pulse activity feed.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.
Survey rules are deprecated
Valid from Pega Version 7.4
Surveys that were created prior to version 7.4 of Pega Platform are now deprecated. As a best practice, recreate your survey by using the Survey Management landing page, and then reuse questions or question pages from your survey library.
For more information about creating surveys, see Improved survey authoring.
Questionnaire shape replaces Survey shape in legacy flows
Valid from Pega Version 7.4
In flows that reference deprecated surveys, the Questionnaire shape has replaced the Survey shape. Although legacy surveys continue to function in this release, update your flows to use the Survey shape because it provides the latest survey capabilities, and deprecated features are not supported.
For more information about the new survey authoring experience, see Improved survey authoring.
Add message header fields to the service email for Pulse email replies
Valid from Pega Version 7.4
The pzCreatePulseReply service email rule now has these additional fields in the message header: Message–ID, In–Reply–To, and References. As a result, the system interacts with email clients by using email headers when users reply to Pulse emails. If you configured a service email for replies to Pulse email notifications, add these fields to the service email to allow the system to post the replies in Pulse. If you are creating a service email, ensure that the message header and data have the same values as the values in pzCreatePulseReply.
