Preview panel
The preview panel appears on the right side of the application when the user clicks the preview option on a case link on their screen. Because the preview panel is displayed over the current work context, the user can compare information about another case without abandoning tasks in progress, which reduces context switching and clicks.
The following figure shows a preview summary panel and its components:
Pega Platform provides the following ready-to-use views that you can customize to meet your business needs:
- A: Header
- Contains information that helps the user identify the case, and case action
buttons. You can configure the header in the same way that you configure a
header in a summary panel view. In fact, the header of the summary panel and the
header of the preview panel are the same section, with two regions for action
buttons (Case header actions and Preview case
header actions). Depending on the context in which the section is
used - in a summary or a preview - the system displays one and hides the
other.
For more information, see Managing Cosmos UI settings in case designer and Adding action buttons to a case header.
- B: Tabs
- Provide convenient access to views that hold supplementary case information,
such as the Pulse feed. Tabs configured for the summary panel appear in the
preview, but in the preview, the tabs are horizontal.
For more information, see Adding tabs to the summary panel.
- C: Assignment list
- Displays the current task associated with the case and its urgency.
- D: Case details
- Contains critical data about the case, including its priority level, operator
ID, and status. The case details view is reused in the summary panel.
For more information, see Customizing the case details section.
