Published Release Notes

Calculate value mode "When invoked procedurally"

The calculate value mode named "When invoked procedurally" is available in Declare Expressions.

Expressions of this mode cannot be chained into or out of, and are triggered only when directly invoked by a collection rule (Rule-Declare-Collection).

Custom shortcuts for mobile apps

When using a mobile web browser to access your mobile app, you can create a shortcut to a specific URL by selecting "add to home screen" from your web browser's menu when on the page. The shortcut icon displays showing the Pega 7 mobile app icon by default, but the icon can be customized in Designer Studio. When you tap the icon, the mobile device's default web browser opens directly to the saved URL. 

See Using the Pega 7 mobile app.

App Studio enhancements further support Pega Express methodology

App Studio now includes improvements that you can use to plan your Microjourney™ in a more convenient way. The Overview workspace now includes a button to edit application details, such as name, description, and business objectives, without having to switch to Dev Studio. You can also access relevant information faster, because Case Designer displays additional details about channels, data objects, and attachments associated with a case type directly in a properties pane. For improved management of your features, feature categories are now available in the application inventory so that you can clearly communicate to your development team what type of features need implementation.
