According to the best practice, a next-best-action designer should modify the decision strategy in Customer Decision Hub, because the decision strategy is part of the next-best-action framework that defines how to select and prioritize propositions for each customer. The 1:1 Operations Manager portal is used to manage the engagement policies and propositions, not the decision strategies. Verified References: Pega Decisioning Consultant | Pega Academy

A suppression policy allows you to define conditions that prevent customers from receiving an action or a group of actions. You can use a suppression policy to implement the requirement that customers do not see home loan offers on their account page if they have already received three home loan offers in the last two weeks. You can configure the suppression policy to suppress the home loan group based on the number of times the customer received any action from that group in the past 14 days. Applicability rules are used to determine whether an action is relevant for a customer based on their profile or context, not based on the number of times they received an action. Customer contact limits are used to limit the number of times a customer can be contacted per channel per time period, not based on the number of times they received an action. Volume constraints are used to limit the number of times an action is presented to customers across one or more channels, not based on the number of times they received an action.

The scorecard model determines the customer credit score based on various factors, such as income, expenses, assets, liabilities, etc. The scorecard model has a Results tab where you can define the cutoff values for different segments based on the credit score. To change the threshold value for the USD2000 credit limit from < 175 to < 200, you need to change the cutoff value in the Results tab of the scorecard model. Changing the cutoff value in the scorecard decision component, changing the condition in the strategy, or mapping the score value in the decision strategy will not affect the credit score calculation or segmentation. 

To implement this requirement, you need to create an external email treatment and use an external tool to design the email. An external email treatment is a type of treatment that allows you to use a third-party email service provider to send emails to your customers. You can configure the external email treatment with the name of the provider, the authentication details, and the template ID that corresponds to the email content that you design using an external tool. This way, you can leverage your existing tools and processes for sending emails, while still using Customer Decision Hub to select the best actions and treatments for your customers.

Paul cannot see the Reward card offer because he rejected other credit card offers twice on the web channel and once in contact center in the past 15 days. This triggers the first contact policy that suppresses a group of credit card offers for 30 days if any credit card offer is rejected three times in any channel in the past 15 days. The Reward card offer is part of the credit card group, so it is suppressed for Paul for 30 days. The second contact policy that suppresses the Reward card offer for 7 days if it is rejected twice in any channel in the last 7 days does not apply because Paul did not reject the Reward card offer twice in any channel in the last 7 days.

This is a screenshot of a table with four columns and two rows.

The table has a header row with white text on a blue background.

The header row reads “Constraint name”, “Constraint mode”, “Constraint value”, and “Channel”.

The second row has black text on a white background.

The second row reads “Standard card”, “Return any action that does not exceed”, “100”, and “Daily”.

The table has a gray border and a light blue background.

The score calculation is independent of the strategy and no change is required. When you use a scorecard component in a decision strategy, you only need to specify the name of the scorecard rule and the output property that will store the score value. The scorecard rule itself defines how the score is calculated based on the input properties and factors. Therefore, if you update the scorecard rule to include a new property in the calculation, you do not need to make any changes in the decision strategy for the updated scorecard to take effect.

To test the visualization and the rendering of the email content, including replacing of the placeholders with customer information, you use a seed list from the Test email tab. A seed list is a predefined set of customers that you can use to test your email treatments before sending them to your target audience. You can select one or more customers from the seed list and send them a test email with your treatment. You can then verify how the email looks in their inbox and how the placeholders are replaced with their actual values.

To implement this requirement, you need to create an action and the associated web treatment, a real-time container, and a business structure. An action is a proposition that you want to present to a customer, such as a credit card offer. A treatment is the way you present the action to a customer, such as an image or a text message. A real-time container is a configuration that defines how to deliver actions and treatments to a specific channel, such as a website or a mobile app. A business structure is a hierarchy of business groups and business issues that organizes actions into meaningful categories.

The outbound run delivers 75 emails and 25 SMSes for the Standard card offer because the volume constraint is set to limit the number of actions per channel per day. The email channel has a limit of 75 actions per day, so all 75 email offers are delivered. The SMS channel has a limit of 25 actions per day, so only 25 SMS offers are delivered. The remaining 50 SMS offers are not delivered because they exceed the volume constraint.
