Merging Rows

In a large decision table, the merge function helps to merge any existing duplicate condition and thus makes the decision table more efficient.

Procedure

  • Click Merge Rows to merge rows with the same conditions into a single row data. Actions for the first row are used for the merged row.

    The Merge Rows button acts as a toggle: to toggle between merged and unmerged rows, click the Merge Rows button again.

    Note: The initial state of the merge rows button is determined by a decision table preference. To set the initial state, select Window > Preferences > Decision Table and set the property Automatically merge rows as desired. See Decision Table Related Preferences
