Clipboard tool

Use the Clipboard tool when developing and debugging to:

When you click Clipboard in the Designer Studio developer toolbar, the Clipboard tool appears in its own window. As you interact with the Clipboard tool at your workstation, you see a static snapshot copy of your clipboard, which resides in memory on the server.


Required privileges

The Clipboard tool is available only to users who have access to the @baseclass.clipboardViewer privilege. Action menu items that update the clipboard contents are available only to users who hold the @baseclass.clipboardViewerUpdate privilege.

The standard access role PegaRULES:SysAdm4 provides these privileges.

Clipboard tool for debugging

Several methods manipulate the clipboard. As you execute activities that affect your clipboard, you can examine the results with the Clipboard tool.

For example, when you execute an activity that contains a Page-New method, you can see the resulting named top-level page in the User Pages section. If you execute an activity that uses the Property-Set method (on a named clipboard page), you can see the new values.

Mobile Clipboard

Pega Mobile offers a clipboard view similar to the Designer Studio clipboard that you use on your Apple Safari desktop emulator. Useful for trouble-shooting and debugging your mobile application, the clipboard is grouped by User, Declare, Linked Property, and System pages.

The Mobile Clipboard is available only to users who have access to the @baseclass.clipboardViewer privilege. The access roles PegaRULES:SysAdm4 and PegaRULES:ProArch4 provide these privileges.

In the Safari desktop emulator, access the clipboard by using a tap and hold gesture on the mobile application. Display the clipboard for the main content panel and modal/overlay windows. Tap and hold does not display the clipboard for the main navigation panel, the toolbar menu, or a menubar in a section. You can also add the clipboard as a navigation menu item.
