This feature can be used to build chatbots, virtual assistants, and other conversational interfaces. 

Email Manager Portal for Constellation

Traditional and Constellation UI

Configurable UI 

The Constellation UI is designed to be configurable, which means that it can be modified to fit a specific use case. The UI components can be easily arranged, and the layout can be changed without requiring any code changes. Moreover, the components can be removed or added to the UI as required. 

Customizable UI 

In addition to being configurable, the Constellation UI is also customizable. This means that it can be designed to match the branding and style of the organization. Custom styles and themes can be created, and the color palette can be modified to match the organization's branding. 

Overall, the Constellation UI offers a more flexible and customizable approach to building user interfaces in Pega 8.x, making it easier for organizations to build interfaces tailored to their needs. 

Why new architecture? 

Pega's new architecture has been designed to focus on flexibility, scalability, and extensibility. Separating the orchestration layer from the presentation layer allows using any web-standard front-end technology, such as Angular, React, or Vue.js. This provides a better separation of concerns, making maintaining and upgrading applications easier. 

Easy Configurability 

The new architecture provides a new app studio that allows for easy, fast, and consistent error-proof configurability. With this new app studio, you can easily customize UI components, layouts, and styles without any coding. This makes it easier for business users and citizen developers to quickly adapt to changing requirements and create new applications with minimal IT involvement. 

Future-proof Architecture 

Furthermore, Pega's new architecture is future-proof, supporting emerging web standards and technologies. This ensures that applications built on Pega's platform remain relevant and up-to-date even as the technology landscape evolves. 

Furthermore, these features combine to make it easier for organizations to build and maintain innovative, user-friendly applications.
