Some decision tables are easier to understand if you change their orientation.

About this task

By default, decision tables are created where the conditions and actions appear as rows as shown in this image:

You can change this so that they appear as columns. To do this from the decision table editor, proceed as follows:

Procedure

  1. In an existing decision table, click any cell in the condition row.
  2. Click the Changes the orientation of the condition icon (The change orientation icon).

Results

The orientation of the decision table changes so that the actions and conditions are now displayed in columns instead of rows. Note that this will not affect the runtime execution of the decision table.
