Decision tables can be associated with one or more dataset links. To run a decision table without a dataset link, select the search result that's suffixed with default. The other search results are suffixed with the name of the dataset links. If you select a decision table with an associated dataset link's name suffixed, the decision table provides outcomes for the records of the object specified in the dataset link.

-
Include the input fields to provide values for.
If the decision table contains an input field to group the business rules, include that input field.
-
Provide values to be evaluated by each decision table input field that you include.
If an input field is of the type Picklist (Multi-Select), provide only one value for evaluation. You can't provide multiple values by using semicolons as value separators.
