PEGA Concepts: Class Inheritance and Rule Resolution

The Use class-based inheritance to arrive at the correct rule to execute checkbox defines how inheritance (through the class hierarchy) affects this rule. For this functionality, there are two main types of rules:

• those that can be defined as attributes or aspects of other classes
• those that are not aspects of other classes, but stand alone


There are some types of rules, like Activities, Models, Whens, Decision Tables, etc., which may be “applied to” or “defined on” other classes.
