> ### 1.2 Decision Tables Page

> If you click View Active Decision Tables, the Active Decision Tables are displayed in view-only mode. Active Decision Tables are the only Decision Tables that can be used in an Interstage BPM process. If you want to create Decision Tables or edit, rename, or delete existing Decision Tables, the editable Decision Tables page must be displayed. If you are in the View-only mode, click Manage Decision Tables to display the editable page.

> Active Decision Tables

> This is the main interface in Decision Tables. This editable Decision Tables page allows you to create Decision Tables and edit, rename, or delete existing Decision Tables. You can also view active Decision Tables by clicking the View Active Decision Tables button. However, clicking this button puts you into View Mode, and you cannot edit Decision Tables in View Mode.

> Once you make changes to existing Decision Tables, approval for making the Decision Table active can be made from this page. Approval is handled by an Interstage BPM process that has been configured by the Interstage BPM Administrator.

> Figure 1: Editing/Deleting Decision Tables

> The Decision Tables Tab provides a rich web-based business user interface. Access to this page is restricted to qualified users (users configured by an Interstage BPM Administrator).

> #### 1.2.1 Exporting Decision Tables

> You can export saved Decision Tables to an external file to back them up or archive them. Click the Export Decision Tables button and save the file to the local file system.

> #### 1.2.2 Enabling a Decision Table

> You can enable or disable a Decision Table using this page. If a Decision Table is not enabled, a request for evaluation will result in an exception. Only a Decision Table that is being edited should be disabled. Once tested, a Decision Table should be enabled.

> #### 1.2.3 Saving Decision Tables

> If any changes are made to a Decision Table, the button appears on this page. Only then can you save the Decision Table. Interstage BPM saves the default Decision Table set. In case you have loaded another Decision Table set, the same Decision Table set will be saved.

> Figure 2: Saving Decision Tables

> #### 1.2.4 Requesting Approval for a Decision Table

> Once you have enabled and saved changes made to a Decision Table, you must activate it, so you can use it. The primary way to do this is to request approval. This request can be made from this page. Approval is handled by an Interstage BPM process configured by the Interstage BPM administrator as the approval process.

> Click the button to request approval. This will start the Interstage BPM process by which you can activate your new Decision Table.

> Figure 3: Decision Table Approval

> Note: The button is provided to allow Interstage BPM Administrators to activate new Decision Tables without requesting approval.

> #### 1.2.5 View Active Decision Tables

> Qualified users can view and test active Decision Tables. No changes can be made to active Decision Tables directly.
