Edit decision tables

You can edit a decision table to incorporate any required changes. However, the extent of changes depends on the state of the decision table. 

  • Draft state – You can perform any required changes.
  • Unpublished state – The decision table contains both a published and a draft version. You can only add, edit, or delete rows in the draft version. You cannot change any values within the Conditions and the Results pane.
  • Published state – You cannot change a published version. To change a published decision table, you must create a new version, add, edit, or delete rows, and then publish the changes. When published, the newer version overrides the current version. 

To edit a decision table, perform the following steps:

  1. Click Admin.
  2. Under Rule-Based Decisions, click Decision Tables. The Decision Tables page opens.
  3. Click Menu > Orchestration > Rule-Based Decisions > Decision Tables. 
  4. Select the decision table to edit. The Setup tab displays the decision table configuration. 
  5. To edit a published decision table, from the Published tab, click Create New Version. The decision table now opens on the draft mode. 
  6. Use one of the following options to edit a decision table. You can filter out rows or search using row reference ID that is unique to each row. 
    • Add row – Add a new row to include extra rows of rules. When you add a new row, the default configuration is added by default. Make at least one edit to the new row to save the changes. You can add a maximum of 2000 rows in a decision table. Use the filter option to view any rows of your requirement.
    • Delete row – Remove any row of conditions and results.
    • Copy row – To duplicate the row configuration and make any desired changes, click Copy .
      Note: When you copy the row configuration, you must change the conditions of the new row to save the changes. Two rows with the same conditions cannot exist.
    • Reorder row – To move a row to a different position, hold the drag-and-drop icon and place in on the desired position. You can only drag and drop within the same page. Alternatively, click the on the row, which you must move. Use one of the following options:
      • To shift the row to another position, click Move row to, and enter the number of the destination row. The existing rows are reordered to reflect the updated priority. 
      • To exchange positions with another row, click Swap row with, and enter the number of the destination row. The row priorities are swapped. 
  7. Click Publish to update the decision table to the latest version.
    Note: When you publish changes to a decision table, all Architect flows that use this decision table use the new version.
  8. To retain the changes as a draft version, click anywhere on the page.
