Implementing draft data objects

Provide data that is necessary to process your business cases and meet your goals by implementing draft data objects. When you plan your microjourney, you can associate draft data objects with case types. By implementing these data objects, you ensure that your customers can process the microjourney successfully.

Before you begin: Associate a data object with a microjourney. For more information, see Associating data objects with case types.
  1. In the navigation pane of App Studio, click Data.
  2. Click Data objects and integrations.
  3. Click a draft data object that you want to persist.
    Draft data object names have (Draft) appended to a descriptive name, for example Personal details (Draft).
  4. In the Data model section, click Create data model.
  5. In the Create new data model field, enter the name for the type of information that you want to model.
  6. To define a location for your data, in the Define source data field, select one of the following options:
    • To set a local Pega data object, select Now, and then select Pega in the Systems list.

      By connecting to Pega database storage, you can add fields and complete your data model. When your data model is complete, and your external data sources are available, you can optionally connect to them too.

    • To define a source system later, for example if your source system is not yet ready, select Later
  7. Click Submit.
What to do next: Provide meaningful information for your data model by defining fields. For more information, see Defining the fields in a data object.
