Read the first 7 User Interface Development & Navigation flashcards as text

  1. In Pega, which element of the portal configuration controls what the user sees in the left navigation panel?

    Answer: Navigation rule

    The Navigation rule defines the menu items, links, and structure that appear in the portal's navigation panel for a given operator.

  2. What is the role of the 'pyWorkPage' in Pega case user interfaces?

    Answer: It is the primary clipboard page holding the current case's data

    pyWorkPage is the standard clipboard page that holds all data properties for the currently open case, referenced throughout UI forms.

  3. Which Pega UI element is best suited for displaying a dynamic list of records that the user can sort and filter?

    Answer: Grid

    The Grid control in Pega provides built-in sorting, filtering, and pagination for displaying lists of records from a data page or clipboard page list.

  4. In Pega's UI framework, what is the purpose of a 'Harness' rule?

    Answer: To wrap a complete user interface view such as a form or portal page

    A Harness rule is the top-level container for a Pega UI view, assembling sections, layouts, and controls into a complete screen or form.

  5. How does Pega handle field-level validation in a user interface form?

    Answer: By executing edit validate rules associated with properties when the user submits or tabs out

    Edit Validate rules associated with a property are triggered on field exit or form submission, displaying inline error messages if the value fails validation.

  6. Which Pega feature enables you to define a custom style theme for an application's UI without editing individual section rules?

    Answer: Skin rule

    The Skin rule in Pega centralizes visual styling—fonts, colors, borders, and mixins—and applies them globally across the application's UI.

  7. In Pega, what is the function of the 'Pre-activity' on a flow action?

    Answer: It executes logic before the form is displayed to the user

    A Pre-activity runs server-side logic (such as populating default values) before the flow action form is rendered to the user.
