Attach Content control
Valid from Pega Version 7.1.5
The Attach Content control assists with attaching and uploading media files for Pega 7 applications. When in a mobile web browser, this control is limited to attaching image files only. Using a desktop browser with this control enabled launches the file browser, allowing users to select a type of capture mechanism and/or utilize an "attach file(s)" file selection prompt directly from their desktop.
Display dropdown lists in descending order
Valid from Pega Version 7.1.5
The dropdown grouping feature now allows you to display a list of groups in both "Ascending order" and "Descending order". Previously, only Ascending order was available.
This feature is available on the General tab of the Cell Properties dialog in Designer Studio.
Save Application Explorer filter selections
Valid from Pega Version 7.1.5
Application scoping control selections made in the Application Explorer are now persisted between sessions. These preferences are stored in an operator record on an access group level. If you delete (and later re-add) an access group on your operator form, the application scoping control defaults to all layers selected:
External access control DASS
Valid from Pega Version 7.1.5
A new Dynamic Admin System Setting (DASS) controls the Designer Studio's access to external systems, specifically the PDN RSS feed found on the home page.
By default, Pega-Desktop.AllowAccessToExternalSystem is set to TRUE. Update this setting to FALSE to hide the PDN RSS feed and ensure that no RSS fetch is performed.
Create PDF Smart Shape supports orientation
Valid from Pega Version 7.1.5
The Create PDF Smart Shape contains settings that allow you to orient the PDF in a profile or landscape layout.
Better visibility for Stages and Steps
Valid from Pega Version 7.1.5
The Stages and Steps display now appears at the top of the action area on perform and review user forms. Previously, the display appeared on the Case Contents Overview tab.
Case-insensitive filtering in reports
Valid from Pega Version 8.2
Filtering in reports is now case-insensitive, improving the reporting and searching experience. You can turn off case-insensitive filtering, for example, by using an activity. You might want to do this if your index is too big or if the length of time it takes for indexing impacts performance.
For more information on report filtering, see Editing filter conditions.
Add subspaces within spaces
Valid from Pega Version 8.2
You can now create subspaces within spaces. By adding a subspace, you can collaborate on a subtopic that is related to the topic of the parent space. For example, you can create an Annual Day subspace within the Events space.
For more information, see Creating a subspace.
PATCH support for REST integrations
Valid from Pega Version 8.2
REST connectors and REST services now include support for integrating with REST APIs that require using the PATCH method. REST integrations that support the PATCH method allow you to make partial updates to individual resources while retaining data that does not require an update. With PATCH support, you no longer need to write complex custom code to integrate with services that require using the PATCH method.
For more information about REST integrations, see Connect REST form - Completing the Methods tab.
Configure REST connectors for standard-compliant endpoints
Valid from Pega Version 8.2
REST connectors now support all standards-compliant endpoint URLs, regardless of how those URLs use query parameters.
This URL support allows you to do the following actions:
- Include repeated query string parameters in a URL.
- Omit a query string parameter if the value of the parameter is empty when you send a request.
- Apply appropriate encoding for different URL components.
For more information about REST connectors, see Connect REST form.
