Adding case types in the New Application wizard

On the Case types form of the New Application wizard, you can add case types or import existing case types to your new application, based on your built-on application. You work with this form when you create an enterprise application.

Tip: Use extension points to enhance the functionality in this step of the wizard. For example, you can automatically add rules and data from built-on applications to each of your newly created or imported case types.

To add new case types:

Follow these steps when you are extending the PegaRULES application.

1.            Click Add case type.

2.            In the Name column, enter a case-type name that does not exceed 40 characters.

Case-type names must start with a letter and can contain alphanumeric characters, ampersands, underscores, or hyphens.

3.            Optional: In the Description column, enter more detailed information, such as the purpose of the case type.

For each case type that you define, a case type named pyDefault is created with a set of standard, supporting rules.

To import existing case types:

After your application is created, you can use the Case Type Explorer to add or import more case types.
