BusinessEvents: Creating a Decision Table

After successfully logging in to the application, some menu options are enabled depending on the roles that your account belongs to User Roles.

When a business user logs in to the Decision Manager application, the following menu options are enabled:

• Project > Checkout/Update/Commit/Show Status
• File > New/Open/Logout/Exit
• Edit > Select All
• Access menu if you also have the RULE_ADMINISTATOR role

As a business user, you can use Decision Manager to create Decision Tables.To Create a Decision Table

1. Open a decision project.
2. From File menu, select New > Decision Table Rule Function, and choose a name for the Decision Table.
3. Select a Virtual Rule Function that you want to implement from the Project Explorer.
4. Click OK.The arguments of the virtual rule function you are implementing are shown in theArgument Explorer view. Expand the Entities (concepts and events) to see theirproperties from Argument Explorer.
5. Decide on which properties you want to use to make a decision table. Drag and drop those properties onto the Condition or Action area.For example, if the arguments are two concepts called BankUser and Application,you can decide to accept the Application based on a users's age and credit score.In this case, drag and drop BankUser's "age" and BankUser's "creditScore"attributes from the Argument Explorer view to the condition area of the decisiontable. Then, you drag and drop the Application's "status" attribute to the Actionarea.
6. When you are done creating the decision table, click File > Save.

• If two rows end up with the same conditions after you make modifications, they will get merged into one row. All actions will also be merged.
• It is invalid to provide a string property value that starts with an integer (such as "12hello" unless you specifically wrap the value around double quotes.
• Blank cells, or cells that have a * in them, as well as disabled cells are all ignored and automatically treated as true.
