Scenario

For Phase 2 of the application, a basic organizational structure for MyTown must be set up within Pega Robot Manager™. The structure allows users to complete QA testing with an attended robotic desktop automations (RDA) solution. MyTown has a primary Customer Service department that contains multiple sub-departments, including Water and Sewer and Parks and Recreation. The Water and Sewer sub-department contains another sub-department named Water Service, which allows the routing of work to users that work only on Water Service matters.

You must initiate your own Pega instance to complete this Challenge.

Initialization may take up to 5 minutes so please be patient.
