What process step allows automatic transition to a specified stage?

The option that enables an automatic transition to a specified stage is the "Change Stage." This process step is specifically designed to facilitate the transition from one stage of a process to another within Pega. When configured correctly, this step can help streamline the workflow by allowing the system to automatically shift to predetermined stages based on criteria such as completion of tasks, passing of data, or specific business rules.

Change Stage is particularly valuable in applications where business processes have distinct stages, ensuring that the transition between these stages occurs seamlessly and without manual intervention. This results in increased efficiency and adherence to predefined business workflows, helping to maintain consistency in how processes are executed.

While flow control and transition step are related to process management, they serve different purposes. Flow control involves managing the path a case takes through the process based on certain conditions, whereas a transition step might be more general, indicating a shift that may not be tied to specific stages. Stage handling, on the other hand, is related to managing stages but does not imply automatic transitions like Change Stage does.
