Procedure documentationChanging the Layout of a Decision Table Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

You can arrange the condition and action columns of the Decision Table depending on how you want them to appear.

If you choose to have only vertical conditions, all condition headers appear in vertical columns in the decision table. On the other hand if you choose to have a horizontal condition, one of the condition headers and the corresponding values gets arranged in a row.

Note Note

You can only change the layout if there is more than one condition in the decision table. A decision table can only have one horizontal condition.
