Interest page The primary page that against which a flow runs. An interest page might be an embedded page of the case, or it might be the case itself. Linked property A single-value text property that has values that are expected to match the key of an instance of a concrete class. In certain user interface and other rule configurations, linked properties can improve performance and eliminate the need to create a special-purpose activity.

Reference property A property of mode Single Value, Value List, Value Group, Page, Page List, or Page Group, that can operate to maintain what appears as an automatic copy of properties on another page. Reference properties can eliminate the need for copying the contents of one value or page into one or more other values or pages.

The Strategy Result (SR) class is a subclass of the standard Data-pxStrategyResult class (either through pattern or direct inheritance).
