Attaching screen captures to a case

Pega Community logo

Note: The following content, referenced from Pega Community, is included here to help you better achieve the module learning objectives.

To document values that users enter during case processing, create screen captures of user inputs, and then save the captures as PDF files. By documenting input values, you can understand how users interact with a case and, after case resolution, analyze the information that users provide.

For example, you can check the values that users submit in the first stage of a case to ensure that the case reaches its resolution with the most appropriate effect.
  1. Add the Create PDF shape to the case life cycle:
    1. In the navigation pane of App Studio, click Case types, and then click the case type that you want to open.
    2. In a process in which you want to add the shape, click Step More Automations Create PDF .
    3. Click Select.
  2. In the Step properties pane, in the Select view list, select a view that you want to include as a PDF screen capture. For example: To create a PDF file that contains case attachments, select Case attachments.
  3. In the PDF orientation section, specify the file layout.
  4. In the PDF name field, enter a descriptive name for the document. For example: Enter Attachments for a job application process.
  5. In the Attachment category list, select an option that describes the business classification of the screen capture. For example: To indicate that the file contains documents that a job applicant issues, select Document.
  6. Optional: In the Audit note field, enter the audit note.
  7. Click Save.
Result: At run time, your application takes a scree capture of the section that you select, and then saves the capture as a PDF file in the Recent content section of a case.
