Configuring Action on Constellation

User Experience

Hi,

using constellation I noticed that all the action set are disappear, due to the center-out approach.
Anyway I do not understand how to replicate various scenarios.

I’ve read this: Goodbye to action sets in Constellation? Yes, but for good reason. | Pega

Yet I’d like to understand how to replicate the most used scenarios, like:

  • Add a button with a Data Transform/Activity
  • Add a button to open a Modal Dialog/Overlay
  • Add a button to move to another assignment that’s not the one with the highest likelihood.

Those are some scenarios that have come to my mind. I’ve know that button are no more supported. But those scenarios are quite common for business.

How can I reach those objective?

Thanks

@nalls3 Thanks, but still doesn’t help me, unfortunately.

I’d like to understand if every scenarios that we used to create with Traditional Architecture, can be replicated on Constellation, like opening a popup from a button.

Besides it would be nice to have a sort of manual where it is described in Constellation how to replicate the main action set used in Traditional Architecture. I found only the refresh (here Pega Infinity ’23 and Constellation UI offers faster and easier ways to configure dynamic form field behavior | Support Center).

I do not see any clue on how to open a Modal from button/icon, or associate a button/icon with a data transform/activity (the latter one seems unfeasible on Constellation).

Thanks

Thanks for your response.

In Constellation, some traditional Pega Platform components work differently. Please go through the below link to understand the changes to the design process in the Constellation architecture.

In Constellation, we don’t use action sets instead we can use the pre/post processing DT’s available in the view or at the flow action level and we also have Form refresh setting which can be utilized to execute a DT based on a change in property value.

Please refer this article for more info:

Regarding opening a Modal from button, this functionality is not available directly from the OOTB, instead we can create a custom DX component to get this functionality.

Here are the articles for your reference to create a custom DX component:

Also, this kind of similar functionality is already available in the Constellation UI gallery.

Hope this helps!

Thank you
