NOTE: This tab is deprecated. This tab is only available if you created your case match rule in a release prior to Pega Platform.

Complete this tab first to specify the class, conditions, and activity used for retrieving the desired cases from the database. After the system retrieves the cases, it evaluates them according to the criteria you specify on the Evaluation tab.

Field

Description

Target Cases
Class

Enter the class containing the cases to be retrieved.

Content Activity

Enter the name (second key part) of an activity that is to retrieve cases from the database. In the simplest cases, this activity can perform an Obj-Browse method, or call a deprecated list view rule. The system uses the Target Cases Class value as the Applies To key part to finding the activity using rule resolution.

If the activity requires parameters, click Params and enter parameter values.

Content Returned  
Content Page

Select the name of the page to contain the retrieved cases. This page, of class Code-Pega-List class, is generated by the Content Activity. Use SmartPrompt to review the eligible page names referenced in the Content Activity.

Max Allowed Pages (optional)

Optional. Enter the maximum number of cases to be retrieved by the content activity. (You can use this option to prevent evaluation of an excessively large number of cases.)

If more cases are found than the limit you specify, all the cases are returned to the clipboard but a message is added to the clipboard similar to:

20 records found. Maximum allowed is 5.

The case match rule evaluates only cases within this limit. Build error handling into your application to handle this appropriately.

Skip pages that meet any of these conditions

Optional. Identify one or more when condition rules to filter out cases that match any one of the conditions listed.

Only cases that evaluate false for all the when condition rules are scored.

Sort

These fields appear only after you select Seek First Case on the Evaluation tab. Sorting is optional and occurs before evaluation. The system selects the first sorted case that scores at the cutoff score or higher.

Sort by Property

Optional. Identify a property (retrieved in the results of the Content Activity) for sorting. The property listed first in this array defines the major sort.

Sort Order

Select Ascending or Descending as the sort order for that property.
