Use an otherwise condition

An otherwise condition is used in a decision table for situations when the specified conditions will not be met. The otherwise condition cause a rule to fire when no other evaluation can be resolved.

Configure an otherwise condition as follows:

Procedure

1. Configure your decision table so that at least two of your conditions have been defined.
2. Right-click a conditions cell, and select Add Condition Otherwise from the list.

Results

A new value appears on the condition called Otherwise. It will always be the last value shown, and only one otherwise is allowed per condition.

You cannot make a template from the otherwise condition.
