When you specify a description for the Short Description field, make the description meaningful in context to application users who must select one action from the list.
// here may I know where can I set Short Descriptions of a flow action? I can not find in the flow action setting form.
Action Section
On Perform user forms presented with the default action section ( Work-.pyActionArea ), the form area created by a flow action can offer the most likely action as the default, while allowing the user to choose other actions. The action with the highest likelihood appears as the default option on the left side of the section header. The section presents alternative actions in a click-action menu named Other Actions. The top of the menu displays connector flow actions, a horizontal line, and then local flow actions . Beneath the list of flow actions is a sub-menu called Add Work, which lets the user start a supporting process or add a child case — the choices depend upon your case management configuration.
// same, where can I find the form as above mentioned? At design or at run time?
As explained in previous comment, short description is in the rule form.
For the second question, it is at run time. Let’s consider you have an assignment configured in a flow with 2 Flow actions defined in it; the flow action with the highest likelihood will be shown in your work list / work basket. Once you open the assignment, you will have a action button which will list out all the possible actions mentioned ( like other flow action with less likelihood, local actions configured in assignment, case and stage level actions, optional process etc..)
In above Action menu , there’s another Flow Action S1. Is it what you mentioned one?
If so , it’s quite diff from what you describe: " ( like other flow action with less likelihood, local actions configured in assignment, case and stage level actions, optional process etc..) "
I can see “other flow action with less likelihood”, it’s S1, but where are “local actions configured in assignment, case and stage level actions, optional process etc”?
Also quite diff from what the 2. “Action Section” in my first ask.
Hi @MaxonL16591286: The form / Action Section mentioned is nothing but the S2 assignment which is opened in your screenshot. If you use live UI to verify it, it will have the flow action embedded into pyActionArea. So the most likelihood action which is S2 here is shown in the form / Action section. Since S1 is of lesser likelihood, it is shown in Actions ( In older versions of PEGA it will be in right end as other actions as per your screenshot. Both are similar but the actions may slightly vary with versions). Form / Action section referred here is nothing but the assignment presented to the user when opening it.
The button is not only to show less likelihood actions. It is also meant for other actions. Few example as below
Pre defined actions (Refresh in your screenshot)
Local actions configured in assignment. (i think there is no local actions configured in your assignment. If you configure any, those will also shown in it)
Case wide actions configured in your case type ( Edit details and change stage in your example)
Stage level actions or any other optional process configured in case type
