flow actions and sections
Hi,
I want to know is it good to create sections in the Data class and use the flow actions in the work class. And I also wan to know what is best practices.
Since I am new to PEGA I am confused when I should create sections in data class and use flow actions which are created in work class and when to create sections in work class.
Thank you

You can only associate a section to a flow action with the same Applies to class, hence usually you need to define flowaction/section pair in the work class.
However for the shake of re-usability and the consistent display of same set of data across the multiple screens, usually the section defined in the work class includes those sections defined in the data classes.

hi Chunzhi,
Thank you very much for your kind help. I have another thing to clarify. That is, we create sections and flow actions in the data class only for the purpose of re-usability. Is that correct sir?

It depends on how you use the flow action. There are design patterns for defining flow action in data class, however you can not refer data class flow actions in the flow rule of your work class (split for each shape is an exception).
