Purpose proj-831

Application Use Case rules are part of the suite of application development tools used for the Direct Capture of Objectives (DCO).

Typically, use cases are defined in an Application Profile and created by the Application Accelerator Proj-184. To maximize the potential for reuse, they are defined as atomic use cases. As a project evolves, you can add new or update existing use cases. For more information, see Pega Developer Network article PRKB-26123 Working with Application Use Cases.

Where Referenced

Application use case rules are referenced in the following places:

• Application rules, on the Use Cases tab, reference the use cases associated with the application.
• Flow rules, on the Use Cases tab, list the use cases implemented by the flow and flow components.
• When editing a flow rule in Visio, the shapes panels for the Connector, Utility, Integrator, Spin-off, Subflow and Starting Flow shapes include a Use Case field that can reference a use case rule.
• The Work Types & Use Cases gadget on the Application-Overview landing page.

Access

Use the Rules Explorer to list all use case rules available to you.

Development

To add new instances of a use case, an application and corresponding work type for that application must exist.
