A decision table is a scheduled rule logic entry, in table format, that consists of conditions, represented in the row and column headings, and ACTIONS, represented as the intersection points of the conditional cases in the table. Decision tables are best suited for business rules that have multiple conditions. Adding another condition is done by SIMPLY adding another row or column.

Like the if/then rule set, the decision table is driven by the interaction of conditions and actions. The MAIN difference is that in a decision table, the action is decided by more than one condition, and more than one action can be ASSOCIATED with each set of conditions. If the conditions are MET, then the corresponding action or actions are performed.
