In which class should navigation and harness rules be created?

When considering where to create navigation and harness rules in Pega, the appropriate choice is the Data-Portal class. This class is specifically designed to cater to the needs of portal-related functionality, which includes managing user experience through navigational elements and layout configurations.

Harness rules define the structure and presentation of user interface elements, while navigation rules help guide users through the application. By placing these rules in the Data-Portal class, it ensures they are correctly associated with the portal framework that Pega uses to deliver a consistent and effective user experience across various applications.

Using the Data-Portal class allows for better management and reusability of the navigation and harness rules, benefiting from the class structure that Pega promotes. This organization aligns with the Pega conventions for UI design, thereby enhancing maintainability and scalability of the application as it evolves.

Other choices do not align well with the specific requirements for navigation and harness rules. The Portal class is often associated with more generalized portal management, while the UI Components and Application Class serve purposes that are broader or unrelated to handling navigation and harness rules specifically.
