A use case represents a small processing unit performed by one or more actors DCO 5.5 for a given work type within an application. A single use case implementation may correspond to an entire flow, a single flow action, a screen flow, an activity with the May Start? option enabled or the New harness of a flow.

Typically, use cases are entered in an Application Profile, created by the Application Accelerator, and made available for update as instances of Rule-Application-UseCase rules as a project evolves.

They also are referenced in application, flow, activity and flow action rules.

See the Pega Developer Network article PRKB-26123 Working with Use Cases and others listed under the Implementation Methodology knowledge category for more information.
