Adding case types in the Legacy New Application wizard

Follow these steps when you are extending the PegaRULES application.

1. Click Add case type.

2. In the Name column, enter a case-type name that does not exceed 40 characters.

   Case-type names must start with a letter and can contain alphanumeric characters, ampersands, underscores, or hyphens.

3. Optional: In the Description column, enter more detailed information, such as the purpose of the case type.

For each case type that you define, a case type named pyDefault is created with a set of standard, supporting rules.

Follow these steps when you are extending a framework application.

1. Review the list of top-level case types in the framework application that will be added to your new application.

   By default, the check box next to each case type is selected.

2. Click an application name in the Additional Built-On Applications section to review a list of top-level case types that your application will inherit.

3. Repeat step 2 for each list of case types that you want to review.

4. Optional: Clear the check box next to a case type to exclude it from the import process.

For each case type that you select, a copy that includes child case types is added to your new application.
