In Pega, a record is a collection of data that represents a specific object or entity. There are several best practices for saving records in Pega:
- Use the appropriate data type: It is important to use the appropriate data type for each field in a record. For example, if a field is meant to store a date, it should be of the “Date” data type. Using the appropriate data type can help to ensure that the data is stored correctly and can be retrieved and used correctly.
- Validate data before saving: It is important to validate the data entered into a record before saving it to ensure that it is accurate and complete. This can be done using validation rules or by using data shapes to define the structure of the data.
- Use data pages: Data pages are a useful tool for storing and retrieving data in Pega. They allow you to store data in a separate location from the process, making it easier to access and update. Data pages can be used to store data for a single case or for multiple cases.
- Use data sets: Data sets are a useful tool for storing and manipulating large sets of data in Pega. They allow you to store and manipulate data in a structured way, making it easier to access and update.
- Use the clipboard: The clipboard is a useful tool for storing and accessing data within a process in Pega. It allows you to store data in a separate location from the process, making it easier to access and update.
