Rule Builder > Managing Decision Tables > Action Column Editing Operations > Setting Value Checking Rules

Just as for condition columns, cell values in action columns can be checked against a set of rules that can be established, using the Action Column Editor.

For each argument of the action member associated with the action column, a checker can be set to check the corresponding cell value against the checking rule.

Value Checking Rule Example

For the discount argument of the setDiscount action member set at the column level, the checking rule in Figure 12.47 checks that the value is > 0.

Value Checking Violation Example

When a cell value violates a checking rule that may have been set, and if the checking of expressions is enabled at the table level, the cell value is underlined and a tooltip can be displayed. An example is shown in Figure 12.48.
