Designing the Data Model

Accessing the right data at the right time is fundamental to accurate and efficient Case processing in Pega Platform™, and this starts with designing the Data Model for your application. In this module, you engage in a conversation about Pega Platform's Data Model, including such topics as defining the Data Model, Data Records, data objects, data relationships, the Case Type Data Model, and designing a Data Model for reuse across Pega applications and Case Types.

Estimated module duration: 1.5 hours

Engage at your own pace, with Socrates guiding your understanding of the material. For an optimal experience, complete the module in one session.

After completing this module, you should be able to:

• Describe the Data Model as it relates to Pega Platform applications.
• Use fields and Field Types to define the information required to successfully resolve a Case.
• Use Calculated fields to save time and improve accuracy during Case processing.
• Define Data Objects that model the entities need to resolve Cases.
• Extend the functionality of Data Objects by referencing one Data Object within another.
• Describe how Data Objects and Data Records relate to each other and to the Data Model.
• Describe the role of Data Pages in sourcing and providing the data used in resolving Cases
• Explain the role of Data Relationships in relating Data Objects with Case Types.
• Use Embedded data Data Relationships and Data reference Data Relationships in the Case Type Data Model.
• Describe the purpose of App Studio's Integration Designer landing Page.
