This term has two uses:
- A shortcut folder is an organizing element for grouping
shortcuts saved by a developer. C-2335 On the
My Shortcuts display BYRNB 3/3/10 from the Designer Studio Application menu, the
image identifies a shortcut folder.
- A work objectfolder is a work object in a concrete
class that inherits from the Work-Folder- class. A folder
object holds a collection of one or more other work objects (which
themselves may be basic work objects, other folders, or covers)
providing access for analysis and reporting. By convention, the work
object ID of folders has the format F-99999.
Covers and folders are two built-in facilities that allow your
application to support collections of work objects. In contrast to
covers:
- One work object may be associated with multiple folders, but only
with one cover.
- Members of a folder can belong to different work types, which need
not belong all in a single work pool.
- The relationships between folder work objects and their contents
may be many-to-many.
Example
To review or work with a flow rule that creates a folder work object,
examine or test the standard flow rule
PegaSample-Folder.NewWork.
As a business example, consider a purchasing application where a basic
work object is a line item on a single purchase order:
- The purchase order corresponds to a cover object. Every line item
belongs to one purchase order.
- Folders organize open purchase order line items by our part number
and also by the vendor's part number. A folder work object (in
Work-Folder-OurPartNum work type) may be associated with several line
items, and one line item can simultaneously belong to a
Work-Folder-OurPartNum work object and a Work-Folder-TheirPartNum work
object.
