What is Clipboard In PEGA ? || Clipboard Pages in PEGA

Introduction

To view data that is in memory, we will use the clipboard tool. The clipboard tool organizes and presents all the pages on the clipboard. When you select a page, the clipboard tool lists all the properties on each page and the value of those properties. To open the clipboard tool, click the clipboard icon on the developer toolbar in Dev studio.

The Clipboard tool is organized into three parts as

1.The Header

2.The Left Pane

3.The Right Pane.

1.The Header

You can use the Header to select the Thread to view.Each thread corresponds to a unique action currently managed by PEGA.The clipboard contains one thread dedicated to the dev environment.Other threads are dedicated to open rule forms.Pega assigns each open case a unique thread.

2.The Left Pane

The Left Pane lists each page defined on the clipboard for the selected thread.For each page,the clipboard tool identifies the name and class of the page.If a page contains embedded pages,an expand arrow is displayed to the left of the page name.To view the embeded pages,click the expand arrow.

The Clipboard pages are classified into 4 categories as,

A.User Pages

B.Data Pages

C.Linked Property Pages

D.System Pages

A.User Pages

The User Pages category contains created due to user action,either directly or indirectly.User pages contain data related to work being performed by a selected thread.

B.Data Pages Pages

The Data Pages category contains read-only data page rules.Data pages are presistent pages in the memory,used to cache data.This data is often sourced from outside the application,such as form a third-party or a system of records.

C.Linked Property Pages

The Linked Property Pages contains read only pages created by linked properties,which contain information from data objects referenced by a linked property.Linked properties are advanced data constructs,typically created and confugured by Senior System Architechs (SSAs) or Lead System Architechs (LSAs).
