Hi,

Thanks for posting on PSC.

You have two questions put up,

First, you want to take input from end user in the portal and transfer the value on click of button to work- class? Correct me, if my understanding is wrong.

And this of page structure, as you're somewhere trying to map it to data page and access(I am not clear on data page part of your question).

Let's discuss the difference and purpose of work and data class at first to understand.

Work Class - Contains the rules that describe how to process a case, such as processed, date element and user interfaces. They can be instantiated or an object could be initialised if you compare in java terms.

Data Class - Contains the rules that describe the data objects used in the application, such as a customer or collection of order items.  They are like(close but not exactly) interface, it can't be instantiated though could be used as the container.

You can define your Page or UI property structure in "Data-" class and then create a page/pagelist(as per your business requirement) in the "Work-" class and refer the "Data-" as the definition of Page list and use it in your UI to perform or store action.

Now let's come to the second question,

"pyStartCase" is an OOTB initial flow, though you can always alter or replace it with your own custom flow under Case rule. It's made available by Pega to assist in initiating the flow rather creating whole things from scratch as per my knowledge.

Please rectify me, if I misunderstood your requirement and led you to complete astray.

Though, if you find above explanation helpful. Kindly mark this post as answered for tracking purposes and broader Pega audience.

Regards,

Asif
