Importing a Decision Table

You can import correctly formatted Microsoft Excel file to create a decision table or to merge to an existing decision table in TIBCO BusinessEvents WebStudio.

Note:
  • Only import from the Microsoft Excel files is supported. You cannot import from CSV (commaseparated values) files or tab-delimited text files. You can open such files in Excel and save as Excel format binary files.
  • Before importing the Microsoft Excel file, ensure that cells are not protected (locked). The protected cells, after the import, appear disabled in WebStudio.
