What does a skin rule manage in Pega applications?

A skin rule in Pega applications primarily manages the user interface styles and appearance, specifically through the use of CSS (Cascading Style Sheets). It allows developers to define the look and feel of the application, including elements such as fonts, colors, spacing, and overall visual layout. This functionality enables customization of the user experience to ensure that it is both aesthetically pleasing and aligned with branding requirements.

The focus of skin rules is on UI consistency and enhancing the accessibility and usability of applications by providing a cohesive design framework. By using skin rules, organizations can maintain a consistent user interface across different screens and components within the application, making it easier for users to navigate and interact with the system effectively.

Other aspects such as workflow management, security, and data validation processes are handled by different rule types or components in Pega and are not the primary function of skin rules.
