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.
Chrome support for editing specification descriptions in Word
Valid from Pega Version 7.2
If you use Google Chrome 42 and later, you can now create, save, and update specification descriptions even if you are not using the Microsoft Silverlight NPAPI plug-in.
The new
option provides you with the functionality to upload a Word document that contains the specification description. In addition, you can use the option to export the description that you entered in the rich text editor to a Word document.Redesigned tool for documenting your applications
