This section contains information about writing about Pega-specific ideas.

• Rule vs record

  Pega Platform contains two distinct types of objects, rules and data instances, yet we commonly refer to them both as rules.

• References to a rule by name

  When referring to an instance of a rule or a rule category, it is not necessary to include the word rule or the fully qualified class name. Use the common name instead.

• Referring to Dev Studio menus

  To create consistent documentation and facilitate localization of different menu elements for the user, follow these guidelines and examples of references to the menus and other items in Dev Studio.

• Trademarking and copyright rules

  Use the following guidelines for trademarking product and company names in our documentation and other content.
