Summary panel views
The summary panel displays critical information about the case, such as case priority, and provides convenient access to more detailed case information in tabs. Once you populate the views that make up the panel with fields and widgets, the panel is generated automatically.
This is in line with the paradigm of prioritizing configuration over customization, which helps you deliver business-optimized applications with less development and maintenance effort.The following figure shows a sample summary panel and its components:
You configure the summary panel views at case level. The views do not change when you progress the case through subsequent steps. Pega Platform provides the following ready-to-use views that you can customize to meet your business needs:
- Case details
- Contains critical data about the case, including its priority level, operator
ID, and status. The case details view is a part of the case preview panel.

- Headers

header includes a shortcut to frequently used operations, for example, the add
to favorites action.
