 Introduction to Group By and Filter Components:

The Group By component groups data based on specified properties, allowing aggregation of data points.

The Filter component is used to include or exclude actions based on specific criteria.

 Dotted Line Relationship:

In Pega's visual strategy canvas, a dotted line between two components indicates a reference relationship rather than a direct data flow.

When a dotted line connects a Group By component to a Filter component, it signifies that the Filter component is using a property defined or aggregated in the Group By component.

 Functionality Explanation:

For example, if the Group By component aggregates customer data by region, the Filter component can then use this aggregated data to filter actions for specific regions.

This relationship ensures that the filtering process considers the aggregated data, making the decision strategy more dynamic and contextually aware.

 Verification from Pega Documentation:

As outlined in Pega's documentation, a dotted line signifies that the Filter component references a property from the Group By component, enabling more complex and accurate decision-making processes.
