Import stories: When populating the backlog directly from a spreadsheet, the correct approach is to import the stories. Pega allows for importing user stories from spreadsheets to efficiently populate the backlog.

Decision tables in Pega are ideal for situations where you need to apply multiple conditions to arrive at a decision. They are best used when you have a limited number of conditions and actions that result in a discrete set of outcomes.

B. A dance studio recommending a membership type based on the number and type of dance classes is suitable for a decision table. The number and type of classes can be mapped to specific membership types in a table format where each row represents a possible scenario and outcome.

D. A hair care company suggesting a line of products based on various attributes such as hair type, scalp moisture, hair moisture, and whether it is color-treated is also suitable for a decision table. Each combination of attributes can correspond to a specific product recommendation, making a decision table an efficient way to handle these rules.

The basic condition for identifying duplicate cases, such as IT tickets for the same issue, is to check if the issue type is the same. By configuring the Search duplicate cases step to identify cases where the issue type is the same, you can effectively identify and manage duplicate IT tickets related to common problems like "the office Wi-Fi is down."

User interfaces are also known as channel interfaces: In Pega, user interfaces are referred to as channel interfaces because they represent the different ways users interact with the application, such as through web, mobile, or other channels.

When a service level (SLA) adjusts the assignment urgency to 100 upon the goal interval lapsing, the following impacts occur:

Urgency Value Adjustment: The urgency value of the assignment is set to 100, indicating high priority.

Continued SLA Processing: Other SLA processing, such as escalating actions and notifications, continues as configured.

Urgency Cap: The urgency value remains at 100, which is the maximum urgency, but this does not halt other service level processing.

Therefore, setting the urgency to 100 indicates maximum priority but allows for continued SLA actions such as further escalation and notifications.
