Standard Data Transforms

Naming convention

By convention, the Pega Platform includes a standard data transform named pyDefault for most standard concrete classes and several standard abstract classes. For example, the Data-Admin-Operator-ID.pyDefault data transform provides initial values for about 25 properties in the Operator ID data instance.

This is not a reserved name and has no special characteristics. You may create data transforms with this name or other names in any class or RuleSet.

Data transforms that apply to classes derived from Work-

Whenever a new work item is created, the Pega Platform uses the pyFlowName property in the object to identify a flow rule to start.

If you create a data transform named pyDefault with the Applies To key part class derived from the Work- base class, include a value for the pyFlowName property. In most cases, select the Call SuperClass data transform check box to apply the ancestor pyDefault data transforms also.

Set the value of this property to the Flow Name key part of a flow rule. When a user starts a new flow in the context of that Work- class, the system uses this value, with rule resolution to find the flow rule to run.

Data transforms that apply to System-User-MyRules class

By default, the order and link labels for reports in the Monitor Activity work area are controlled by data transforms with System-User-MyRules as the Applies To key part. Override these standard data transforms and then modify your rule to reference and label reports as desired.
