Using outputs as inputs in decision tables
An important concept when creating decision model variants, is the ability to use outputs of other decisions as inputs into a decision table.
An input can be derived from the following decisions:
-
An output from a programmable decision.
-
Other decisions tables. It is very common in decision modelling to use the output of one decision, as an input into another decision, such as a decision table. For example, the input on the Determine Loan Default Risk decision table can be derived from the output of the Determine Loan Type Risk Level decision table.
In order to use an output as an input in a decision table, you must connect the two components on the decision canvas.
