Exam PEGACPSSA23V1 Topic 1 Question 139 Discussion

Correct Answer

A. Properties

Why This Is Correct

A: Edit-Validate Rules are configured on Properties. A Property represents a field or data item in a case. The rule checks that the value entered by a user is correct. For example, it can validate that an email address is in the correct format or that a phone number contains only digits.

Why Other Options Are Incorrect

B: Flow Actions define what users do in the next step of a case. They do not perform input validation.

C: Activities define backend processing or business logic. They are not used for validating user input.

D: Case Types define the overall structure of a case. They are not a place to configure field-level validation.

Key Point
