> ### 2.1 Selecting a Process Definition to Contain Your Decision Table

> A Decision Table is useful only if it is run as a component of an Interstage BPM process instance. The definition for that process instance must contain the following components along with the Decision Table inside a Decision Table Action for the Decision Table to work correctly:

> · Input UDAs corresponding to those defined as Conditions in the Decision Table
> · Output UDAs corresponding to those defined as Results in the Decision Table

> The easiest way to make sure that your process definition contains these necessary components is to specify the Process Definition that you want to contain your Decision Table when you create your Decision Table. For more information and instructions, see Add/Remove Process Definition to Decision Table.

> Note: If the necessary UDAs are not defined in your process definition, the Decision Table Action may work unpredictably. For example, the method that you want to use may be unavailable. A method will be available only if all the UDAs that it uses are defined. If the process definition UDAs are mismatched with the Decision Table Conditions or Results, error messages will appear.
