Pega Cosmos and productivity

Context switching

The navigation improves context switching or multitasking.

Context switching means that users can interact with business objects without switching screens or tabs.

Note: The following video has no audio and no close captions.

Filtering

In the previous video, you see a sales tool built on Cosmos. Users can engage with a list of sales opportunities and filter the list to show only those opportunities in the Analysis stage. 

Unified activity and collaboration views 

The unified activity and collaboration views in the Activity Feed, the command center of the case, display everything that happens to the case, such as discussion with teammates or a manager and assignments, with all necessary forms, on a single screen. You can filter it to show an audit trail.

AI-powered collaboration tools

Cosmos uses artificial intelligence (AI) to power collaboration work tasks.

 

Modular design 

The modular design of the Cosmos design system allows users to work on any screen, from mobile phones to large monitors. Cosmos divides pieces of the screen into elements or modules, which can slot into the overall structure, based on the screen size in use. Each element is easily recognizable. For example, users can reuse the structure and appearance of the summary panel as a preview panel, or as the main view on a mobile device. Users quickly learn that this module represents an object in the system.

In the center of the following image, slide the vertical line to see a patient case viewed from a desktop and the same case instance viewed from a mobile device.

The following video demonstrates how modular design works.

Pega Cosmos and efficiency

Productivity drives Cosmos. It offers a complete presentation layer so that applications are more appealing to users, allowing companies to deliver and iterate faster. Since the presentation layer is available out-of-the-box, teams can focus on business logic and data.

The following examples show how Cosmos designs driving efficiency: 

Organization

In the following figure, on the left is the Case Designer found in the App Studio, and on the right is an application built on Cosmos. Fields are organized in order of importance. The design system adjusts the presentation, adding correct visual emphasis. The business logic is maintained by the model, not locked in by the UI itself. Developers or business architects capture business intents in the case designer and the UI responds to the business intents.

Templates

Cosmos is a library of beautifully designed and constructed templates that you can use in multiple contexts. All ensure perfect spacing and alignment, as well as accessibility, built into every component and screen.
