Attachment support for requirements
Valid from Pega Version 7.1.6
Requirements now support attachments. You can add attachments from the Designer Studio > Application > Profile > Requirements landing page, the Add/Edit Requirement modal, or the requirement rule form.
Enhanced document generation
Valid from Pega Version 7.1.6
The following usability improvements have been made to documents generated by the Application Document Wizard:
- Stages and Processes now appear for case types that use Case Lifecycle Management. This diagram includes hyperlinks to corresponding sections in the document and is scoped to top-level processes only.
- All flows (excluding pyStartCase) referenced by a case type now appear in documents. This removes previous constraints on non-starting, draft, and checked out flows.
- Entity Relationship Diagrams (ERDs) are now embedded in documents as Visio objects.
- Sections without content are omitted from the generated document.
- Screenshots are labeled.
- Requirement text (Long Description) is included in the Requirements Matrix section.
- Linked requirements appear in context beneath their associated specification.
- Acceptance Criteria appears in context beneath the associated specification, report, or correspondence item.
Improvements to the Document Application tool
Valid from Pega Version 7.2.1
Application profile documents and application documents generated by the Document Application tool have been improved to present information in a more logical order based on how the application was built (for example, by case life-cycle management). Also, these types of documents now include all specifications linked with an implementation rule, presented in logical order under the implementation rule.
In addition, to help you more efficiently drive decisions by stakeholders, you can specify whether to include related built-on application layer assets in application profile documents and application documents. For specification documents, you can specify whether to include specifications from the built-on application layer.
For more information, see Document Application tool.
Associate specifications on implementation rule forms
Valid from Pega Version 7.2.1
You can now view, add, and delete the specifications that are associated with a rule on the new Specifications tab of most rule forms. The Specifications tab is available for almost all implementation rules, except for administrative and deprecated rule types. By associating specifications with the rules that implement them, you improve the end-to-end traceability of your specifications.
For more information, see Associating specifications on implementation rule forms.
