Automatically creating class groups

Class groups and related rules are created automatically by various processes in Pega Platform. Creating appropriate class groups and the corresponding classes are important early steps in building an application. Class groups are created when you use any of the following tools.

Note: Pega Platform creates a dedicated table for a new class group only if your access group has the SchemaTableCreation privilege.

  • If you use the New Application wizard to create an initial application, the wizard creates a class group for a work pool automatically, incorporating good design practice.

  • The Import Archive tool creates class groups when uploading a class rule that has is a class group in the This class field on the Settings tab of the Class rule.

  • The system creates a new class group automatically when you save a class rule that has is a class group in the This class field on the Settings tab of the Class rule.
