Discovery features for access control policies
Valid from Pega Version 7.2.2
Access control policies now support discovery features that allow end users to view limited, customizable information about class instances that fail Read policies but satisfy Discover policies. Two types of Discovery gadgets are provided, and when discovery features are enabled, a Discovery gadget is included in the Report Viewer and in search results. Developers can customize these gadgets and include them in other parts of an application user interface.
For more information, see Discovery features for access control policies.
Update and delete actions available in access control policies
Valid from Pega Version 7.2.2
Access control policies support update and delete actions on objects. These actions control which specific instances of a class can be created, updated, or deleted by an end user in a case.
For more information, see Creating an access control policy.
Conditional filter logic supported in access control policy conditions
Valid from Pega Version 7.2.2
In the Access Control Policy Condition rule form, you can now add conditional logic that allows you to apply different access control policy conditions based on different situations, such as different types of users. The policy condition filters that are enforced are based on the results of Access When rules. Conditional filters can be configured to allow certain highly privileged users to bypass access control security in certain situations. This is accomplished by entering an Access When but leaving the conditional logic field blank. When such a filter is applied to a read access policy it also should be applied to the corresponding discover policy.
For more information, see Creating an access control policy condition.

Valid from Pega Version 7.2.2

New formats for styling report data grids
Valid from Pega Version 7.2.2
When you view a report, the data grid that is displayed is now styled by using either the List report format or the Summarized report format, depending on the report type. With this enhancement, you can display report data differently, and perhaps more effectively, than other grids in your portal. In the skin of your application, these new formats will be added and upgraded automatically by copying the Default format for the Trees & grids layout type, which was previously used to style reports.
