Using Categories with Decision Tables

As with business rules you can control access to certain parts of the business object model using categories.

To categorize a decision table

In the Decision Table Editor, click the top-left cell of the decision table.
Open the Properties window for the decision table.

To open the Properties window, right-click in the decision table, and on the shortcut menu click Properties.

In the Categories property, enter one or more categories for the rule.

You can type directly into the Categories box separating each category by a comma, or click the ellipsis (...) at the end of the box to open a string editor, which is easier to use for entering long lists of categories.

To switch to category mode

In the Decision Table Editor, right-click anywhere in the decision table, and then click Toggle Category Mode.

The Decision Table Editor switches to Category Mode, and when you edit the columns of the decision table the categories of the decision table are listed. When you expand these items the members of the business object model that appear are those that share the table's categories.
