Partitions and Partition Items of a Decision Table |
PREVIOUS NEXT |
A partition is the parent of, and groups a set of partition items in a decision table. It is represented in the table by a collapsable group of cells.
A partition item is a link between two partition nodes in the decision tree model of a decision table. It is represented in the table by a cell.
A partition is attached to a condition definition. A partition item provides the parameters of the predicate assigned to the condition definition, and can itself be assigned a specific predicate.
For example, if the condition definition is assigned the following test expression:
the age of the customer is between <min> and <max>
A partition can define a set of possible values for <min>
and <max>
arguments, such as:
1 - 10
11 - 20
21 - 30
...
Each individual interval is a partition item and is represented in the table by two cells.
The partition item is the root of another partition, attached to a following condition definition.
