Changing the default operator for a cell

When you specify a default operator in a condition statement, you can override the operator in a particular row. You can also modify the value of a cell by adding an expression.

About this task

When you define a condition column statement, you set the default operator for all the cells in that column.

For example, if you define the following condition column statement, you set the default operator to is more than (>):

'age of the customer' is more than <a number>

The operators you can choose from match the value type for the cell. You can change an operator later by editing the cell. You can edit a cell in the decision table editor, or use the custom value editor.

Procedure

  • In the decision table editor, change the default operator for a cell using one of the following options:
    1. In the decision table editor, right-click the cell.
    2. Click Change operator, and then select an operator.
  • To change the operator using the custom value editor:
    1. In the decision table editor, right-click the cell and click Edit custom value.
    2. In the custom value editor, modify the operator part of the statement.
    3. Click OK.
      The operator displays as a symbol next to the cell value.
