Chapter 7 Working with Decision Tables : Creating, Opening, and Saving Decision Tables

Creating, Opening, and Saving Decision Tables
Give each table a unique name. Do not use the same name for different tables in the same project, even if they implement different VRFs.
You can create a decision table from the file menu, or by selecting a VRF in the Project Explorer panel. You can open a decision table that already exists in the project, as explained in the following procedures.
You can identify a VRF (virtual rule function) in the project explorer view by its icon. A small letter "v" for "virtual" is added to the standard rule function icon:
