Increase the flexibility of your application and promote automated calculations of field values in App Studio by creating low-code decision tables, without performing advanced configurations in Dev Studio. Decision tables evaluate sets of values to determine what result is best under specific circumstances, so that you can conveniently build logic that provides results for your application users in various scenarios. For example, you can define a decision table that returns a car insurance offer based on multiple factors, such as the age of a driver, driving history, and the age of the vehicle, as in the following image:

At run time, an application evaluates the rows from top to bottom and returns a value for the first row that evaluates to true. In the sample scenario, if the driver is 35 years old, has 12 years of driving experience, has no driving tickets, and drives a car that is 6 years old, the application calculates an insurance offer of 400 dollars. By creating a decision table, you avoid implementing complex solutions that are difficult to maintain, such as evaluating every factor separately.

To ensure that even unexpected business cases can reach resolution, you provide a value that a decision table returns when all rows evaluate to false. You can also save decision tables to a library for future reuse, as well as reuse existing relevant decision tables that you prepared in Dev Studio, to save even more time and resources when you build your application. Because decision tables support all types of calculated fields, you can implement this type of logic in any business case.
