Assignment:
Assignment is a pause in the flow and it signifies that a person or external system must act on a work object before the flow can progress.
An assignment is an instance of a class derived from the Assign- class.
In certain situations assignments can be processed completely or in part by a Process Commander agent rather than by a person
Assignments are created by a flow operating on a work object, but they are not themselves part of the work object.
The system saves data relating to an assignment in instances of the Assign-Workbasket class, Assign-Worklist class, or other subclasses of the Assign- base class. Means whenever a workobject reaches an assignment, it creates an instance of respective Assign-* class. This instance stores all the assignment pertaining information rather than work object itself.
Work Object:
Work object is an single object which cannot hold other object. In versions of Pega 7, think of work objects as "cases". Cases are instances of your case types.
At a high-level, case type instance = work object = work type instance. Technically, a work type class will directly inherit Work-Object-, and a case type class will directly inherit Work-Cover-.
Thanks
Assignment exist without workobjects: An assignment cannot exist without a work object, assignments can only be created for a flow or case, So they exist with work object.
worobject exist without assignement: yes, workobjects can exist without assignments, there can be cases where there isnt any need of an assignment. Cases like which have no assignment shape or all automated steps.
