# Decision tables in the classic environment

In the classic environment, you can develop a table to use for your decision answer records. You then associate an answer record to each decision on your decision table. This answer record is returned when the decision is reached based on your inputs.

**Note:** Workflow Studio decision tables provide a new intuitive interface to create decision tables. For more information, see [Workflow Studio](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/build-workflows/workflow-studio.md).
