Process Flow and Automation Flashcards

In Pega, which shape in a flow diagram is used to represent a decision point with multiple possible outcomes?

Answer: Decision shape (diamond)

The decision shape (diamond) in Pega flow diagrams routes cases along different paths based on evaluated conditions.

What happens to a case when it reaches a Stage that has been configured as an optional stage in Pega?

Answer: The stage can be skipped without completing its steps

Optional stages in Pega can be bypassed entirely, allowing the case to proceed to the next stage without completing the optional stage's steps.

Which Pega feature allows you to automatically advance a case to the next step when all required fields are filled, without user intervention?

Answer: Automatic submission

Automatic submission in Pega advances a case automatically once all required fields or conditions in an assignment are satisfied.

In a Pega case type, what is the purpose of a 'Persist' step in a flow?

Answer: Saves the current state of the case to the database

A Persist step explicitly saves the case's current data to the database, ensuring no work is lost at that point in the flow.

When configuring a parallel process in Pega, which statement is TRUE about the branches?

Answer: All branches must complete before the flow can continue

In Pega parallel processing (fork/join), all spawned branches must reach their join point before the main flow continues.

What type of Pega component would you use to send a real-time push notification to a mobile device during a case flow?

Answer: Notify shape

The Notify shape in Pega flows is used to send push notifications to mobile devices or trigger notifications through configured channels.

In Pega, a 'Wait' shape in a flow pauses case processing until which of the following occurs?

Answer: A configured condition, event, or time is met

The Wait shape pauses a case until a specified condition is true, an event occurs, or a configured time is reached.
