Decision Tables - Completing the New or Save As form

A decision table rule has two key parts.

Field	Description
Type	Select `Decision Table` from the `Decision` category.
Applies To	Select the class to which this decision table rule applies. Decision table rules can apply to an embedded page. On the Decision Table rule form, you can use the keywords `Top` and `Parent` in property references to navigate to pages above and outside the embedded page. If you use these keywords, include the class and absolute name — or a symbolic name using `Top` or `Parent` — on the Pages & Classes tab.
Purpose	Choose a unique name that indicates the purpose of the rule. Begin the name with a letter and use only letters, digits, and a dash character.

For general information on the New form, see Completing the new rule dialog box. For general information on the Save As form, see How to enter rule keys using Save As.
