Which property can hold data about the status of ongoing operations?

The clipboard is a temporary storage mechanism in Pega that holds data for the current user session. It is designed to keep information that is relevant during the execution of an application, including data about the status of ongoing operations. As cases are processed, the clipboard can store various properties, including the state of a case, user inputs, and system-generated data.

Using the clipboard allows developers and users to access real-time information that needs to be referenced throughout the life cycle of a case. The ability to hold such dynamic data makes it ideal for tracking the status of ongoing operations, as it is capable of storing and updating information frequently and efficiently as processes unfold.

In contrast, while data stores are designed for persistent data storage and can retain data over longer periods, they are not typically utilized for status tracking during active operations. Flows and processes, though relevant to the execution of business logic, do not themselves hold data about ongoing operations; they define how operations are routed or executed rather than maintain real-time status data.
