Question 1 of 88

On which type of rule can you configure edit validate rules?

Properties

Flow actions

Activities

Case types

Correct Answer: A

Edit validate rules are typically configured on properties. These rules ensure that values entered into properties meet specific criteria before the input is accepted. They are triggered when a user interacts with fields associated with these properties, verifying that the input adheres to defined formats or patterns.

Question 2 of 88

When designing reports with multiple data sources, in which two ways is an association rule different from a class join? (Choose two.)

You can join multiple classes with class joins, while you cannot join multiple classes with associations.

Anyone with the appropriate permissions can use associations when creating reports in the User portal.

Class joins are unique to each report. Associations are reusable in any report.

A class join is required to add a filter condition to your report.

Correct Answer: B, C

An association rule differs from a class join in that anyone with the appropriate permissions can use associations when creating reports in the User portal, whereas class joins require more specialized knowledge. Additionally, class joins are unique to each report, while associations are reusable in any report.

Question 3 of 88

An application contains the class group MyCo-HR-SelfService-Work. There are two classes derived from Work- class:

MyCo-HR-SelfService-Work-TimeOff

MyCo-HR-SelfService-Work-Expense

If a report is created in the MyCo-HR-SelfService-Work class group, what instances will the report return?

Instances of all Work- derived classes

Instances of MyCo-HR-SelfService-Work-TimeOff and MyCo-HR-SelfService-Work-Expense, unless they are stored in different database tables

Instances of MyCo-HR-SelfService-Work-TimeOff and MyCo-HR-SelfService-Work-Expense

Only instances of MyCo-HR-SelfService-Work

Correct Answer: C

If a report is created in the MyCo-HR-SelfService-Work class group, it will return instances of its subclasses MyCo-HR-SelfService-Work-TimeOff and MyCo-HR-SelfService-Work-Expense. The instances belonging to the subclass are included because they share the same class group. There is no indication that these specific subclasses are stored in different database tables, so by default, the report covers all instances within the class group.

Question 4 of 88

A Fulfillment report needs to list the user ID of the employee who packages the items to ship in an Order case. The report provides information from the MyCo-Orders-Work-Ship and Data-Admin-Operator-ID classes.

Which two options independently satisfy the report requirements? (Choose two.)

Configure a class join on the Fulfillment report definition to join operator information to each case.

Add the user ID to the Fulfillment report definition as a parameter.

Specify both classes on the Pages & Classes tab on the Fulfillment report definition.

Use an association rule to join operator information to each case to populate the Fulfillment report.

Correct Answer: A, D

To satisfy the report requirements, we need to join operator information with each case in two independent ways. First, configuring a class join on the Fulfillment report definition will achieve this by linking operator information to each case. Secondly, using an association rule to join operator information to each case accomplishes the same goal through a different mechanism. These two methods independently satisfy the requirements for including the user ID of the employee who packages the items to ship in the Order case.

Question 5 of 88

Which three items are generated and displayed in the compliance score of an application? (Choose three.)

Rules with warnings in the application

Pega Platform core rules used in the application

Rules with unjustified warnings in the application

Unweighted compliance score

Percentage of compliant rules in the application

Correct Answer: A, C, E

The compliance score of an application typically includes the following three items: Rules with warnings in the application, Rules with unjustified warnings in the application, and Percentage of compliant rules in the application. These elements help in assessing the adherence of the application to defined best practices and guidelines, giving a clear picture of areas that need attention to maintain high compliance standards.
