Adding rows that contain values

You can add rows that already contain values to a decision table to create or extend a series of rules.

Procedure

To add rows containing values:

  1. In the decision table editor, select the first value in the series you want to create or extend.
  2. Press Ctrl and place your cursor over the cell handle.

    The cursor changes into a hand with a + symbol.

  3. Drag the hand down to select the number of rows that you want to insert.

    A tooltip displays the values that Rule Designer places in the cells.

  4. Release the cursor.

    The rows are inserted and populated with the automatically computed values, and any values copied from the original row.

    Note: If you do not want the values of the cells next to the inserted values to be automatically filled in, do not press Ctrl when clicking the cell handle. If you just drag the cell handle, values are inserted only in the selected column.
