Rule Builder > Business Object Models > Working With the BOM Property Sheet > Defining the Default Column Labels in Decision Tables

To define the default column labels of a decision table, enter a value for the label property in the Property Sheet. If set, this property is used by a decision table as the default title for the column using a given BOM element. Figure 8.20 shows the name ShoppingCart with the label Cart. It is Cart that is displayed as the column header of the decision table, although the name property remains the unique identifier.

To define a default column label:

  1. Click the BOM element in the BOM Explorer pane to select it and display the corresponding properties.
  2. Click the Value field of the label property, enter a new name and either press Enter or click outside of the Property Sheet to register the new name.

Note that the default label values that you give to a column can be changed at any time, using the Condition Column Editor available from the Decision Table Editor.

For domain items the alternate property is available; the domain item name is changed in the body of the decision table and in the BOM Explorer.

Refer to the Business Action Language User's Manual and the Business Rule Language Support User's Manual for information about the properties bindingMode, deprecated, domain, final, navigate, noAction, noCondition, static, and translation.
