Page Group in UI Section
Hi, I am new to Pega and currently going through the system architect essentials course.
In the data element section, it shows that address(home) or address(office) forms in UI can be configured using page group.
Can someone explain how can this be done?
I have tried the following but to no avail:
- Create an "Address" Property. Type: Single Page
- Create an "Addresses" Property. Type: Page Group. Class definition: "Address" as in no.1
- Create a UI section "Address_section" containing all the fields in "Address" class
- Include the section in another UI. Specify the PageContext as "Use clipboard page" and value: .Addresses(home)
But when I create the case, the section does not show up.
According to this (https://collaborate.pega.com/discussion/how-include-section-page-group), I must initialize the page value. But HOW?
Can someone CLEARLY give me a step-by-step example on how to achieve this?
Thanks

I finally found out how to include Page Group in Section and my approach above is partially wrong. So here's how I solved it
- Create an Address Data Type in Data Class of your app
- Create an AddressGroup Page Group in Work Class of your app. Put the definition as the Address class in step no. 1
- Create a Section in your work class.
- In the Section's Design tab, put all the input you need
- Double click on the input
- In the Property box, in case of "street" text input, type --> .AddressGroup(home).street
- Do step 3 and 4 for all the Address property
In this case, 1 section can only be dedicated to 1 address type e.g. home,office.
I guess it's not really "reusable". But at least you can customize each address type.
Note that since I found this myself, this might not be accurate
