Working with the Decision Table Editor
The decision table editor is used for creating and editing decision table attachments. Decision tables provide a means to generate (or look up) the value of an output data item based on the value of one or more data items.
Launch the decision table editor in one of three ways:
- Hover your cursor over the project pill on the grey shelf, select Attachments from the drop-down list to launch the Attachment Editor and then either click New and choose Using Decision Table Editor from the drop-down list to create a new decision table - the file type will default to CSV.
- Launch the Attachment Editor as above and click
in the Actions column of an existing decision table, then select Edit with Decision Table Editor.
In all cases, the decision table editor appears in a modal dialog.
The figure shows how the decision table editor looks when you create a new decision table.

Note Decision tables are not intended to work with large volumes of data. As their size increases, performance will degrade. The decision table editor supports the visual editing of decision tables of up to 2000 rows. For decision tables prepared externally, for example in Excel,
Xpress Insight can accommodate decision tables of up to 50,000 rows.
