An indirect page is a page that the system finds by searching the clipboard at run time. The page reference to an indirect page starts with the keyword prompt
followed by the page name.
Note: This type of page is deprecated but still supported for rules that used this feature prior to Pega 7.1.
With a Call or Branch instruction, the calling activity can identify parameters to the target activity by using indirect page references. For example, if you identify a page as promptALPHA, the system searches the clipboard for pages named ALPHA.
You cannot use symbolic page names (such as primary
or param
) after the keyword prompt
; an explicit page name is required.
You can use indirect pages in these rule types:
On the Pages & Classes tab of these forms, indicate that a page referenced in the rule is an indirect page by setting the Mode field to prompt
