Scenario

Note: The framework of this challenge uses the view-based Constellation architecture of Pega Platform. To practice this challenge on the traditional UI-based architecture Theme Cosmos, see the Routing work to users version 8.7 challenge.

Specific members of the city government perform assignments on service request cases. The services coordinator identifies three assignments that must be routed during case processing: Schedule repair, Review repair, and Perform repair. The Schedule repair and Review repair assignments are routed to the municipal services coordinator. The Perform repair assignment is routed to the appropriate operator based on the department responsible for the reported issue.

The services coordinator provides the following table listing the conditions that determine how to route the Perform repair assignment:

Route to	Value	Field	Comparator	Value
Operator	parksmgr@mytown	Department	is equal to	"Parks and Recreation"
Operator	dpwmgr@mytown	Department	is equal to	"Public Works"
Operator	trafficmgr@mytown	Department	is equal to	"Traffic Management"

The following table provides the credentials you need to complete the challenge.

Role	User name	Password
Application Developer	author@mytown	pega123!

Note: Your practice environment may support the completion of multiple challenges. As a result, the configuration shown in the challenge walkthrough may not match your environment exactly.
