Scenario

GoGoRoad wants to enable customers to create an Assistance Request Case from their mobile device. As a System Architect on the GoGoRoad project, you have been tasked with customizing the User mobile app Channel to design a mobile app experience that lets customers:

  • Create only an Assistance Request Case
  • Check any Pulse notifications sent to the customer
  • Update details on the customer's Assistance Request Case
  • Update the location for their Assistance Request Case
  • Log off

In addition to the functionality, you have been asked to customize the app branding, including the launch screen and app icon, and configure the app to lock after three minutes of inactivity.

As a new System Architect, your Lead System Architect has given you a collection of technical documentation links to help you get started.

The following table provides the credentials you need to complete the challenge:

Role User name Password
Application Developer author@gogoroad pega123!

You must initiate your own Pega instance to complete this Challenge.
