Using the cell menu

You can update table cells by entering changes directly or by using a rule editor.

The cells in the rows that form the rules in a decision table contain the values that complete the conditions and actions. The columns define the conditions and actions, which determine what you can enter in the cells.

To open the cell menu, right-click the cell that you want to edit. The cell menu provides the following commands, which vary between the condition and action cells.

Table 1. Table of cell editing commands
Command	Description
Cut	Copies and deletes the contents of the cell. The contents can then be pasted to another cell.
Copy	Copies the contents of a cell.
Paste	Pastes the copied contents of one cell to another cell.
Insert copied cells	Inserts copied cells and their values.
Insert row	Inserts a row above or below the row of the selected cell.
Clear	Deletes the contents of the cell.
Change operator	Inserts an operator to define the range of values. Condition columns only.
Disable/Enable	Disables or enables an action cell. A rule ignores the action of a disabled cell. This is equivalent to clearing the contents of the cell, except that you keep the information it contains so that it can be re-enabled later if required. Action columns only.
Edit custom value	Displays the contents of the cell in a rule editor. The rule editor includes a completion menu for building rule statements, and error checking that highlights errors in red and lists them at the bottom of the editing area.
