Support for large binary data item storage in Pega Mobile Client and offline case attachments in Pega Platform
Valid from Pega Version 7.4
Pega® Mobile Client can now store and synchronize large binary data items and their corresponding actions from the action queue on Android and iOS devices. As a result, custom mobile app users can view, attach, and delete data files, whether the device is online or offline. For this function to work, you must enable offline case attachment support, which allows your custom mobile apps to synchronize case attachments between the Pega Platform and the mobile device.
For more information, see Enabling offline case attachments support and Client Store API.
Support for controlling binary file upload in Pega Mobile Client
Valid from Pega Version 7.4
The Client Store API of Pega® Mobile Client has been modified so that you can suspend and resume the process of uploading binary files to the server. You can also check the state of the file uploading process. As a result, custom mobile app users can process their work items without having to wait for the synchronization process to finish.
For more information, see Pega Mobile Client API methods for controlling binary data upload and Client Store API.
The worklist appears to be empty when you go back from an opened case in an offline-enabled mobile application
Valid from Pega Version 7.4
In a Pega® Platform offline-enabled application, when you go back to the worklist from an opened case, the worklist appears to be empty even though it contains cases. This issue will be fixed in the next release of Pega Platform. Only portals that use the key principles and design of the pyCaseWorker portal are supported in offline-enabled applications.
For more information, see Offline mobility guidelines.
Touch response supported on mobile devices
Valid from Pega Version 7.4
When displayed on a mobile device, all active elements of the Pega® Platform user interface now respond to touch by changing their appearance. No additional configuration is available or necessary.
Custom mobile app assets file validation at upload
Valid from Pega Version 7.4
When you build a custom mobile app, and upload branding assets or custom modules within a compressed file, Pega® Platform validates the file that you upload and displays confirmation and warning messages. For more information, see Uploading branding assets and custom modules.
Ability to delete the Mobile channel interface
Valid from Pega Version 7.4
When you build a Pega® Platform application, you can create a mobile app for your users. When you no longer need the mobile app, you can now delete an existing Mobile channel interface, just like any other channel that is available from the Channels and interfaces landing page.
