When a 'Visible when' condition evaluates to false, the control is hidden from the rendered user interface.
Question 5: Which Pega UI component would you use to allow a user to select multiple values from a predefined list?

Question 6: In Pega Constellation architecture, what is the role of a 'View'?
- A view is a database query result
- A view defines the UI structure for displaying or collecting data in a DX API-compatible format (Correct answer)
- A view replaces the harness rule entirely in all Pega versions
- A view is a type of data transform
Correct answer: A view defines the UI structure for displaying or collecting data in a DX API-compatible format
In Constellation, a View defines the UI component tree for a screen or section, consumed by the DX API for rendering.
Question 7: What is the effect of setting a section's 'Read only' property to true?
- All controls in the section become disabled and non-editable (Correct answer)
- The section becomes invisible to the user
- Only text fields become read-only; buttons remain active
- The section is excluded from validation
Correct answer: All controls in the section become disabled and non-editable
Setting a section to read-only disables all editable controls within it, preventing user input.
