Extended currency control
Valid from Pega Version 7.1.4
The currency control can now display a different currency than the locale currency. This means a user in one country can view amounts that are designated in a foreign currency, using that currency's international conventions. For example, a credit card transaction in Germany might need to be posted in US dollars.
Improved accessibility support
Valid from Pega Version 7.1.4
PRPC support for accessibility has been enhanced to allow applications to better meet the standards of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), 2.0 AA.
Responsive layout groups and grids
Valid from Pega Version 7.1.4
The Responsive UI was introduced in Version 7.1, and has now been enhanced in two areas, to create an entirely responsive UI.
PRPC 7.1.4 introduces the Layout Group control, which can render its contents as “tabs,” “accordions,” or as a “menu.” The rendering choice is driven through the presentation layout (the skin), which presents the information responsively: a “tab” at a certain breakpoint can turn into an “accordion” or a dropdown-style menu, depending upon what format would be most appropriate for the device/screen size being used.
The grid functionality has also been enhanced, so that grids may be displayed on a tablet or a phone without the need for horizontal scrolling, offering the optimum experience on a mobile device. A PRPC Grid Layout now supports responsive breakpoints in the skin definition in which columns can drop off or be consolidated according to screen size.
Designers will be able to mark columns in the grid by importance, and at the first breakpoint, the columns marked as “less important” will be dropped off first. At the second breakpoint, the grid turns into a “fat list,” with the most important column displaying as a heading for each item in the “fat list.” Styling options can be associated with these breakpoints.
