Editing the actions for a decision matrix

The Actions area for a decision matrix is formed by one or more columns for parameters to be set. These parameters contain the output values after the matrix evaluation.

To add columns to the Actions area:

  1. Click PARAMETERS TO SET and select one or more parameters.
    For each parameter, a column with the same name as the parameter name is added in the Actions section.
  2. Specify values for these parameters in each column.
    The columns are added in the same order as the order in which the parameters are selected.
  3. Optionally, reorder the columns using the right and left arrows. The arrows are displayed when you move the pointer over the column name.

    After the matrix is approved, you cannot add or remove columns from the Actions area.

  4. For each row in the matrix, specify values for the parameters to be set:
    • By default, a blank cell is added for each column. This means that the parameter is not changed when this matrix row is executed. The parameter holds the same value as it had in the workflow, before the decision table was evaluated.

    • Click the edit icon in the cell to edit parameter values. Select one of these options:

      • Keep Original Value
        The parameter value is not changed. This is the default setting.
      • Set Value
        Specify the resulting value for this parameter. Only values that have the same data-type as the parameter to be set are allowed.

    At execution time, the rows are evaluated from top to bottom. The Parameters to be set contain the values from the first rows for which the conditions row evaluates to true.
