The Shift in Building: Configuring vs Customizing 

In the past, making apps meant working with complicated design rules and controls. Thanks to Pega Cosmos React for making it simpler now. Instead of getting into the complex details, developers can quickly set up apps to do what they want. This change doesn't just make things easier for developers—it's excellent news for clients and users, too.   

It's not just a shift in how apps are built; it's a shift towards a hassle-free, user-friendly future for everyone involved. 

Views: A New Way to Build

In the world of Cosmos React, there's an exciting shift happening from traditional sections to something called - views. Views are ready-made templates for professional and citizen developers in App Studio. They simplify the entire process of creating forms and other aspects of the app's interface. For citizen developers, this means they can focus on making the app work dealing with logic instead of getting slowed down by the tiny details of the screen. And for professional developers, views save time, allowing them to tackle more complex coding challenges.

Embedding Self-Service Workflows

Cosmos UI for Pega brings an innovative feature: embedding Pega workflows into your existing customer-facing applications. Imagine the ease of integrating Pega's powerful workflows into websites or apps built with different technologies. This means you can manage activities on another website directly from your Pega application. For instance, embedding a feedback form on your website allows users to share their thoughts without hassles. It blends the efficiency of Pega workflows with the familiar interface of your customer-facing platforms. This integration not only enhances users but is a win-win for developers as well.

Harnessing Insights with Data Visualization

Pega Cosmos’ powerful feature of Explore Data allows you to access valuable insights for your applications. For instance, you can effortlessly access your team's task list and gauge the workload status for the ongoing projects. Explore Data not only enables you to access your application data but also guides you in creating meaningful insights from this data. The best part? You can visualize this information in a clear, easy-to-understand format.

It's not just data; it's insights that can transform your application strategies and enhance overall productivity.

Prescribed UX: A Time-Saving Approach

Prescribed UX in Cosmos React is ground-breaking for businesses. It is a ready-made, intuitive user interface that's easily customizable. With a prescribed design, your focus shifts from worrying about UX basics to working on your core business operations. This not only saves you time but also ensures consistency across your applications. While prescribed design offers a structured approach, it doesn't compromise flexibility. It strikes the perfect balance, allowing you to tailor your apps without getting caught up in minor design details. By concentrating on user needs and core functions, you're ensuring your users navigate your product effortlessly, enhancing their experience and overall efficiency.
