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.

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.
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.
Enhanced data imports
Valid from Pega Version 7.2.2
The data import process in Data Designer has been enhanced to give you more options. You can now import case types, save and use templates for field mapping, add data without updating existing data, specify date and time formats, and reprocess erroneous records by downloading a .csv file that lists the errors in your data import. You can also adjust the data import wizard to the context where it is included.
For more information, see Data import enhancements.
Extended support for Dutch, Italian, and Portuguese in text analytics
Valid from Pega Version 7.2.2
The number of supported languages in the sentiment analysis feature of the Pega 7 Platform has been increased through the addition of sentiment lexicons for Dutch, Italian, and Portuguese in Text Analyzer rules. By using these lexicons, you can now determine the emotional tone of text samples that are written in these languages.
For more information, see Text Analyzer.
Free Text Model rule type name changed to Text Analyzer
Valid from Pega Version 7.2.2
The name of the Free Text Model rule type has been changed to Text Analyzer. When you upgrade to Pega 7.2.2, the rule type name of all Free Text Model rules in your application will change automatically to Text Analyzer.
For more information, see Text Analyzer.
New graphical layout and shapes on the Data Flow form
Valid from Pega Version 7.2.2
The Data Flow form has an enhanced layout that improves interaction with objects on the canvas and provides better readability of flow shapes. The enhancements also include the addition of Branch and Data Transform shapes, and the Convert shape, which supports page unpacking. With these enhancements, you can build data flows more efficiently and capture business requirements more effectively.
For more information, see Improvements to the Data Flow rule form and New shapes on the Data Flow form.
Monte Carlo data set
Valid from Pega Version 7.2.2
You can now create a Monte Carlo data set that is filled with varied and realistic-looking data. You can use this type of data set to generate random data records to test strategies and data flows.
For more information, see Creating a Monte Carlo data set record.
