CPSA Process Flow and Automation 2

Question 1

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

Accepted Answer

Decision shape (diamond)

Answer

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

Question 2

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

Accepted Answer

The stage can be skipped without completing its steps

Answer

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

Question 3

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

Accepted Answer

Automatic submission

Answer

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

Question 4

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

Accepted Answer

Saves the current state of the case to the database

Answer

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

Question 5

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

Accepted Answer

All branches must complete before the flow can continue

Answer

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