About Paragraph rules

Create a paragraph rule to provide read-only text for a cell in a user form or correspondence. Paragraphs can include bold, italics, colored text, images, links, and other rich text, plus property values.

Paragraph rules can be referenced in other stream rules. For example, cells in a flow action can include rich text that provides guidance to users:

  Check if married filing jointly
  (even if only one had income)

Text in this example uses color, italics, and a monospace font.

Where referenced

Harnesses, sections, and flow actions can reference paragraph rules.

To reference a paragraph rule in a harness, section, or flow action:

1. From the Advanced control group, select the Paragraph control. to a header or cell.
2. Complete the Paragraph Include panel. See Paragraphs — Adding paragraphs to place rich text in a layout.

Correspondence rules, correspondence fragment rules, HTML rules, and XML rules can also reference paragraph rules through the <pega:include > JSP tag.

Access

Use the Records Explorer to list all paragraph rules available to you.

Delegation

After you complete initial development and testing, you can delegate selected rules to line managers or other non-developers. Consider which business changes might require rule updates and if delegation to a user or group of users is appropriate.

For more details, see Delegating a rule or data type.
