An action that does not require human involvement but can instead be done programmatically.

An action that does not require human involvement but can instead be done programmatically.

Within Pega Robot Studio, solutions and projects are containers for all the items required to build and run a project. Solutions can include multiple projects. Once you deploy a solution to the Pega Robotic Automation Deployment Portal, it is known as a package.

One of the two characteristics:

- The time that a CSR is unavailable for servicing customer requests while they are working.

- The amount of time that is spent idle, with no input from the associate, shown as both an amount and a percentage of total time. This value is defined by the Workforce Intelligence team.

The top level of the three-level organization hierarchy that is available for use in all of your applications. The organizational structure affects the management reports, statistics, and rules that are available to users in that organization. One system can support multiple organizations. An organization is an instance of the Data-Admin-Organization class.

A business solution that automates workflows in your organization. Multiple, unrelated applications can be hosted in the same system. You create an application by running the New Application wizard.

The process or action of verifying the identity of a user or system. Authentication in Pega Platform ensures that only users and systems with verified identities can access resources such as web pages, APIs, and data.

A role that drives working sessions to further understand microjourney steps and to create the user stories used by the technical team. Different levels are Senior, Lead and Principle BA.

An interface that provides users with an organized set of work tools. Users navigate the application, collaborate, and complete work assignments mainly through portals. Typically, you create a separate portal for each user group within your application. For example, you can create a portal for regular employees, and a separate one for their managers. Most portals contain a navigation menu that leads to various pages and dashboards, as well as a menu for creating new work items. Additionally, portals might also include widgets that improve work efficiency. For example, you can design a portal that has a widget for frequently used reports, which helps managers save time and oversee their projects.

A definable structure that you can use to organize your workforce into logical groupings and reflect who reports to whom. Pega Workforce Intelligence uses the hierarchy that you define for reporting and analysis. You can label the levels in the hierarchy to match the company's business structure, such as divisions, departments, supervisors, managers, associates and so on.

A method of delivering goal-oriented results by handling business cases from start to a resolution and combining human actions with digital automations. In case management, you use data and people that are involved in a business process to visualize and model work, so that you can prepare a set of actions that lead to your objective. For example, you can model a process of approving candidates after reviewing job applications, from collecting documents from a candidate, through the job interview, to the final approval.

An entity that models data in your business processes and defines what information you need to provide to reach your business goal. For example, in a process of hiring new employees, you can create properties that correspond to the personal details of a candidate, such as a name, a surname, and an address. Then, when you review applications from different candidates, you provide values specific to each candidate. To save time and make your application more relevant to customers, you can reference properties in different elements of your application, and then populate them with data at run time. For example, you can include a property that references a customer name in an email that your application sends automatically. As a result, each time that the email message is personalized and includes an actual customer name. Properties help you collect and provide consistent data irrespectively of the method in which users interact with your application. By referencing properties, you ensure that a user receives the same information through a website, an email, or a mobile app.

The low-code development environment of Pega Platform.

A Pega Platform feature for retrieving, analyzing, and using data from business processes. For example, you can create a report with the number of resolved cases per user, and then use the report to assess user performance. You can also sort and filter data to make your report readable and organized.

A set of practices that bridge application development and operational behavior to reduce time to market and create a standardized deployment process so that you can deploy predictable, high-quality releases.

An application that provides a low-code, model-driven experience to configure and run continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) workflows for your application.

A file that you can add to the business process to provide additional information, such as relevant correspondence and documentation. You can group attachments into categories to enhance efficiency and speed up the resolution process. For example, in a car accident insurance claim process, the user can add photographs of a damaged car to the Vehicle damage category and the medical care receipts into the Bodily injury category. Categorization of attachments helps to provide clear separation and context for each file that is associated with the business process.

Actual work that is performed by application users and automations that consists of a sequence of tasks and leads to an intended business goal. An example of a case is a process of hiring a particular job candidate, where an HR worker collects necessary documents, a hiring manager conducts a job interview, and an application sends an automated email with onboarding information after the candidate is approved. To create a case, you first build a template of your business process that is a case type, and then apply the template in multiple cases, for example, to review applications from many candidates.

The primary data source for a data object, such as a connector, external database, or local data storage. For example, for an Employee data object, you might connect to a system of record that populates the data object with employee information fields such as Name, Department, and Start Date.

A measure of work accomplished or completed during a calendar interval.

A data instance that is used to change the performance of Pega Platform. Dynamic system settings that have Pega-Engine as the owning ruleset and key names that start with prconfig are known as prconfig settings. For easier maintenance, create a dynamic system setting data instance and set the value of the data instance to a prconfig setting, instead of directly updating prconfig settings.

The first level of organization of the tasks that are required to complete your business process. By providing stages, you organize work into logical phases that users of your application follow to reach an outcome. Stages visualize milestones or significant events in your business process and can also indicate a transition of work from one person to another. For example, if your business process is to review job applications, you can create Submission, Review, and Approval stages, each of which includes a different set of actions and is performed by a different person. Stages that are necessary to resolve a case through the basic, default path are called primary stages.

In a Microjourney™, stages are the milestones that leads towards an outcome.

Tools to develop apps that work on a wide range of mobile devices. By building native apps that users can install on their Android and iOS devices, you can use mobile capabilities and improve the user experience. For example, Pega Mobile users can access their content at all times, which helps them be productive regardless of network connection status.

(Deprecated) A configuration of panels (areas) in a harness that support a composite portal. Existing panel sets continue to function. As a best practice, upgrade panel sets to screen layouts.

The primary data source for a data object, such as a connector, external database, or local data storage. For example, for an Employee data object, you might connect to a system of record that populates the data object with employee information fields such as Name, Department, and Start Date.

A solution that provides services for customers to augment their staff. Pega Cloud supplies the infrastructure, operational support, and life-cycle management to support Pega applications as a cloud-delivered solution. Customers sign up for services through the Pega Cloud service catalog to address their application needs.

A permanent, unique identifier for a class that includes certain key parts, and the creation date and time of a single instance for rules and some classes. A handle is sometimes known as an internal key. The pzInsKey property holds the handle value for an object. The pzInsKey property is undefined until you save the object.

The second stage of Pega Express Delivery that describes day to day tasks during the first weeks of the project and the expected outputs: a detailed journey map, draft working software in Pega Platform, at least two sprints of user stories and effective governance structures. The goal is a more detailed understanding of the target software, which provides enough knowledge to configure rules and start all the project processes to track and measure success.

The act of closing a case by recording in the properties that work is complete.

As a case advances through a flow, information stored in its properties becomes more complete through user input and automatic processing. When the work for a case is complete, the case is marked as "resolved", or "closed".

A graphical representation that models a business process in your application by using graphical shapes and connectors to define a sequence of events. You can edit a flow in the life cycle of a case or by using the Flow form.

Applications have users, though not all users perform the same tasks. Roles define how users interact with the application by, for example, determining the user interface, page permissions, and routing that are available to a user. For example, in Pega Workforce Intelligence there are several user roles, including administrator, analyst, and report user.

The basic building blocks of an application, rules define the behavior of an application. There are many types of rules, each defining a different type of behavior. For example, rules define the display of a form, the fields that are used in your application, and the flows that define the process of completing work.

The system can reuse rules throughout your application. For example, in an application for ordering replacements parts, you can define a user interface to capture an address, and reuse the same rule for the UI to capture both the mailing address and the billing address for the order.

You define rules in an application to create a business solution for your organization and customers. Rules provide flexibility during the development process and help you design applications more efficiently, so that they can be implemented again in future projects.

The act of closing a case by recording in the properties that work is complete.

As a case advances through a flow, information stored in its properties becomes more complete through user input and automatic processing. When the work for a case is complete, the case is marked as "resolved", or "closed".

An entity that you use to cache data on demand to a clipboard page for use by one or more applications. A data page rule defines the source, scope, refresh strategy, editability, and structure of the cached data. Data pages were previously known as declare pages.

A table or array that associates data fields that are received from or sent to an external application with properties or other sources or destinations in Pega Platform. Data mapping is defined in service and connector rule forms.

A tool that shows all the business objects, data views, object dependencies, and external systems in an application.

A capability that you implement in your application. By defining features that are linked to rules and work items, you can improve the traceability of capabilities to their respective implementations.

A solution that provides services for customers to augment their staff. Pega Cloud supplies the infrastructure, operational support, and life-cycle management to support Pega applications as a cloud-delivered solution. Customers sign up for services through the Pega Cloud service catalog to address their application needs.

A collection of entities and attributes that describes the objects that are modeled in an application, and their relationship to each other.

An office worker or employee whose job function is primarily performed on the desktop and whose activities are reported on and summarized by Pega Workforce Intelligence. Associates must have Pega Robot Runtime installed on their computers. Pega Robot Runtime collects the information that Pega Workforce Intelligence presents. Associates are also called data collectors.

A Pega Platform method, distinct from a Java method. An operation that can be performed by one step of an activity ( Rule-Obj-Activity rule type), or by a Parse Structured rule ( Rule-Parse-Structured rule type).

The series of interactions between a customer and an organization that occur as the customer pursues a specific goal.

An independent review in a workflow by one person of some part of another person's work (and of the system's work), before that work becomes final. Verification is common in financial workflows involving large dollar amounts or sensitive legal commitments.

A method of delivering goal-oriented results by handling business cases from start to a resolution and combining human actions with digital automations. In case management, you use data and people that are involved in a business process to visualize and model work, so that you can prepare a set of actions that lead to your objective. For example, you can model a process of approving candidates after reviewing job applications, from collecting documents from a candidate, through the job interview, to the final approval.

A file that contains security certificates. To support Web Services Security and outbound email security, you can attach a keystore file to a data instance of the class Data-Admin-Security-Keystore.

The process of assigning tasks in a business process to an individual or group of individuals who are the most capable of completing those tasks.

For example, when creating an expense report, an employee creates the report, a manager approves it, and a payroll employee then sends the payment. To process employee compensation payments, you can route the task to the work queue of the payroll team, in which any member of that team can access, select, and process the work item.

If you need a specific person to work on the assignment, you can route the assignment to a work list. For example, when a human resource manager needs to approve employee time off requests, you can route the assignment to the worklist of the human resources manager.

If you need a person with a particular skill set to work on the assignment, you can route the assignment using business logic to a skilled group by defining a specific condition. For example, in an automobile quote request, a prospective customer fills in a form and selects an Electric vehicle check box. The request is then routed to the electric car insurance underwriters work queue, members of which specialize in electric cars.

A numeric value that brings visibility to unresolved work in your application. The number can range from 0 to 100 and is displayed in worklists and case details. The higher the urgency, the more important it is to address the unresolved work, such as an assignment or a case.

A metric that measures how a case was completed as assessed by your organization. Customer satisfaction is a perception of the customer's viewpoint, unrelated to whether your organization performed the work properly or in accord with your standards or industry standards. Use the standard property Work-.pyStatusCustomerSat to record customer satisfaction.

A characteristic that defines and holds data for your application. For example, the Customer data type might be used to manage customer contact information. It might include the customer's name, email, phone number, and so on. Data types are managed using the Data Explorer.

1) In user portals, a "team" is equivalent to a "work group". 2) One or more associates who work semi-autonomously on recurring tasks or towards a common goal. In a Pega Workforce Intelligence hierarchy, departments are comprised of teams. (Defined by the WFI team)

The top level of the three-level organization hierarchy that is available for use in all of your applications. The organizational structure affects the management reports, statistics, and rules that are available to users in that organization. One system can support multiple organizations. An organization is an instance of the Data-Admin-Organization class.

A single source of information that presents categorized content, such as tabs or tools. You can access information on a landing page with focus on a single category that you want to select. A number of landing pages can be accessed right at the launch of your application. For example, on the Application Quality landing page, you can view the health of your current application and identify improvements to make before you deploy an application.

Information that is captured during the life cycle of a case.

An interactive phone system that can respond to a caller input (voice or keypad) and either complete predetermined services or assist in properly routing the call to the appropriate CSR. An older term for an IVR is voice response unit (VRU). Common vendors include Avaya, Genesys, Syntellect, and Nuance.

A clipboard page that is a child of another page.

An ordered sequence of rules to run. In each step of a collection, you can define a precondition that is evaluated before execution, and a response action that runs after the step is completed.

Applications have users, though not all users perform the same tasks. Roles define how users interact with the application by, for example, determining the user interface, page permissions, and routing that are available to a user. For example, in Pega Workforce Intelligence there are several user roles, including administrator, analyst, and report user.

The building blocks of your user interface, sections can use design templates for their structure and contain such interactive UI elements as fields, buttons, lists, and so on. A section creates a functional chunk of a user interface, and can be reused throughout your application for improved consistency and efficient development.

For example, your application may need to display user data as a list of ID cards. You can create a section for the contents of a card, and then reuse that section so that the design of every card is consistent.

One of the following UI elements:

- A centralized workspace that displays operational information about your application and key performance indicators, such as the number of assigned items or the average time to resolve a case. A dashboard can include charts, reports, worklists, and other widgets.

- A single webpage that shows the current status and ongoing trends of your organization’s behavior. This data helps you to make informed decisions and guides you to specific investigations or outcomes.

Skins determine the general visual style of your interface and let you define the typography, placement, and appearance of UI elements. The skin separates content from presentation, so that you can reuse your configurations and keep a consistent UI design. For example, you can reuse a section anywhere in your application and retain a uniform style that is specific to your company.

Office workers or employees whose job functions are primarily performed on the desktop and whose activities are reported on and summarized by Pega Workforce Intelligence. Data collectors must have Pega Robot Runtime installed on their computers. Pega Robot Runtime collects the information that Pega Workforce Intelligence presents. Data collectors are also called associates.

The actions that are taken during a stage, in parallel or one after another. Processes can include assignments, automations, decisions, and sub-processes

A tab in Workforce Intelligence where you identify opportunities and see how much time has been spent in each application screen or on each webpage.
