Enabling Decision Table Actions

 PREVIOUS NEXT

By setting the properties of a decision table and its elements, you can set the priority and enable and disable individual actions.

You can also check that the equivalent business rule for each row in the decision table is as you expect.

Note
When the rows of a decision table match different objects and some cells are empty, the results of executing a decision table can differ depending on the execution mode used.

To set the priority of a decision table
  1. In the Decision Table Editor, click the top-left cell of the decision table.
  2. Right-click the decision table, and on the shortcut menu click Properties.
    3. The Properties window opens.
  3. In the Properties window, set the Priority property.

Now, when the decision table is executed, the priority of the decision table is set to the new value of the Priority property.

The priority of a decision table works in the same way as for business rules. For more information, see Ordering Rules in the Agenda.

To enable and disable individual actions
  1. In the Decision Table Editor, click the cell containing the action you want to enable or disable.
  2. Open the Properties window.
    3. To open the Properties window, right-click the cell, and on the shortcut menu click Properties.
  3. In the Properties window, set the Enabled property.
    4. Now, when the decision table is executed, the action is included in (or excluded from) the decision table.
    Disabled actions are marked with an icon (images/usrstd_dtable-inactive-icon16.gif).
To view rows as business rules
  1. In the Decision Table Editor, right-click anywhere in the decision table, and then click Show Rules.
    2. A viewing pane appears in the Decision Table Editor.
  2. Click on the header(s) of one or more rows.
    3. Business rule equivalents of the rows appear in the viewing pane.
