Pega 7 Express re-use of assets
I played around with Pega 7 express and I think it's great. I'd like to offer the following as feedback - they could be bugs, enhancement requests or user errors as I'm not totally sure what to expect when:
1 - You lead from a case type - I'd really like to take an existing case type, "save it as" and "tweak" some of the underlyings steps - I can't seem to find how to do this - supported? on the road map?
2 - In creating a separate case type - I'd like to re-use some or all of the Stages (and their steps) from other case types - I can't seem to find how to do this- supported? on the road map?
3 - I noticed someone else suggested that more robust calculations would be great (I agree)
4 - Is there a way to add a complex data type - for example I would like to be able to align one or more services to an individual product (2 yr warranty, 5 yr warranty etc.).
Presumably the APIs - create case types, configuring forms etc. are reuseable/public so they can be implemented in other non-Pega 7 Express scenarios? How do we find out where the starting points are?

Thanks.
Here's what I'm trying to say about the public API.
I want to build a section rule using developer studio which exposes a button that links to the "configure form" link I see in Pega 7 express. Selecting that button will run the same utility that pega 7 express runs, assuming I provide the parameters, etc. I should be able to do this,right? Thanks.
Thank you for the clarification. I understand now. We do have an internal API for this but we have no plans on making it public at this point in time.
Hi Saurabh,
Please create a new question in the Pega 7 Platform forum. Adding an unrelated question to the end of a forum thread about a different question will not get the right people looking at your question.

Saurabh,
I see that you have already posted same question in another forum @ https://pdn.pega.com/forums/prpc/user-interface/customizing-login-screen
It is recommended not to create duplicate posts and continue the discussion in the above topic or create a new one to get the right attention.

Thanks for the feedback.
All of the features you've mentioned can be configured using the Designer Studio in Pega 7. We have not yet exposed those capabilities via the Pega 7 Express authoring views.
That said, they are all on our roadmap to add to the Pega 7 Express authoring views over the next few releases. Some sooner than later.
I am not sure I understand the question about the APIs being public. Could you be a bit more specific on how you would like to use the capabilities?
