Pega Screen Flow

Pega screen flow is a flow category option provided by PRPC to gather/collect information from the user in a particular sequence. Screen flow enables the user to go back and forth and edit the information at any point of time till the form is submitted finally.

Screen flow can be created from New instance of FLOW rule dialog. The Template field has to be selected as screen flow.



Screen flows cannot create new work object and hence cannot be used to start an application. Because, "Creates a new work object?" option in the process tab of Flow rule will be disabled for screen flows. This also means, a screen flow is useless unless used in a starter(i mean standard) flow.

Screen flows can have embedded subflows. But normal standard flow cannot be added as subflow and only another screen flow can be added as subflow.

The available flow shapes for a screen flow are,

In screen flow, Flowactions are referenced by assignment shape rather than connectors(as we generally do in standard flows).

Screen flows can change the status of the work object to Resolved. This change of status can be set in an activity and this activity can be referred in the post activity of the flow action that is used in the screen flow.
