Simulating the matrix execution

To simulate the matrix execution, the DECISIONSERVICE-Editor or DECISIONSERVICE-Approver roles are required.

With the Simulation functionality you can verify which approval chain will be built for a set of input values.

To use the simulation functionality:

  1. Open the details page of the matrix you created.
  2. From the list of matrices, click the matrix tile to open the details page.
  3. Click the Definition tab.
  4. Click SIMULATE. The switch is now ON.
  5. Verify whether the matrix view has changed. Each column has an input field that requires a value.
  6. Specify a value in each field and press Tab or Enter to move to the next field. When all values are specified and no field is marked red, the simulation is executed.
    The rows for which all conditions evaluate to True for the specified values, are displayed.
    The distribution column, shows how the approval chain will be built. Approvers will receive a task in the order of the rows, from top to bottom.
  7. To exit the simulation mode, click SIMULATE. The switch is now OFF.
    The whole matrix is now displayed, as it was defined.
