Decision tables

Modify the values in a decision table using the business rule manager.

A decision table is a business rule record in table format as shown in this figure.
Figure 1. Decision tableThis figure shows an example of a Decision table with the conditions Purchase Amount on the top row and Member Type on the left column. The action Discount on the middle and right columns.

The business rules manager provides a Web interface that presents decision tables in tabular form with each variable in bold characters. The orientation of conditions and actions are shown by arrows like the ones shown in Figure 1. A decision table functions as a condition with a corresponding action. If a condition is met, then the corresponding action or actions are performed.
