Special actions menu

The Decision Table page has a Special actions menu to edit the values in a decision table or modify the structure and variables of a template.

The Special actions menu is available for any field that has the Special actions icon beside it when a decision table is in the edit mode. Clicking the Special actions icon for the field opens a list of available options for the field. The following table lists the possible options.

Reordering the columns or rows only affects the visual presentation of the table and has no effect on the order in which the conditions and actions are processed.
