What is the purpose of a subprocess shape within a Pega flow?

Answer: To invoke a separate child flow that runs as part of the parent case

A subprocess shape in Pega triggers a child flow, allowing complex processes to be modularized and reused across multiple parent flows.

In Pega, what does a 'wait shape' do within a flow?

Answer: Pauses flow execution until a specified event or condition is met

A wait shape halts the flow until a configured event (such as a timer expiry or a case status change) occurs before continuing.

Which Pega rule type contains the logic for automatically assigning work to a specific operator or workbasket?

Answer: Router rule (flow action router)

In Pega, the router rule (or routing logic within a flow) contains the business rules that determine where an assignment is sent.

What does a 'spin-off' shape do in a Pega flow?

Answer: Launches an independent child case that runs in parallel without blocking the parent

A spin-off shape creates an independent child case that runs concurrently without the parent flow waiting for it to complete.

In Pega BPM, which flow shape is used to handle exceptions and alternative paths when an error or special condition occurs?

Answer: Exception handler shape in an alternate path

Exception handling in Pega flows can be managed through alternate paths off an assignment or dedicated exception flows triggered by errors.

In Pega, what is the function of parallel processing in a flow?

Answer: Allows multiple branches of work to execute simultaneously before converging

Parallel processing in Pega flows enables multiple branches to run concurrently, with the flow converging once all branches complete.
