Working with templates

You can create partially written rules and partially defined decision tables for use as templates, to simplify the task of creating rules and decision tables.

Templates
A template is a partially written action rule or decision table that is used as a starting point to create multiple rules or decision tables with similar content and structure. In addition, by defining it as such in the template, parts of rules created from a template can be frozen so that they cannot be edited.
Setting up an action rule template
You use the guided editor to create action rule templates. You leave placeholders to cater for variations, and you freeze the parts that should remain fixed.
Setting up a decision table template
You create decision table templates to enable the efficient creation of multiple decision tables that have similar content and structure.
