- Opening a new case
- Displaying a user’s worklist
- Selecting and performing an assignment
The Generate Mashup code option opens a window that provides the necessary HTML for you to copy, paste, and view within the web page.
You can modify the code to meet the specific needs of the web page or to customize the appearance of the mashup, example: setting the width of the mashup.
Note: Pega Web Mashup is used when a company requires that a Pega process be embedded into an existing web page or alternate application.
