# Decision Builder user interface

The decision tables user interface in Workflow Studio provides controls for creating, editing, and managing decision tables.

## Decision tables home page in Workflow Studio

You can do the following on the Decision tables home page in Workflow Studio:

-   Create a table by selecting **New** and selecting **Decision table**.
-   Open a table that you have already created.
-   Sort and filter the list of your decision tables.
-   Edit the available columns by selecting the List Actions icon \(\[Omitted image "gear-icon.png"\] Alt text: Gear icon\).
-   Delete selected decision tables.

## Decision table

You can do the following on a decision table:

-   Name your decision table and provide a description.
-   Select an application to associate the decision table with.
-   Select the scope that the decision table should be accessible from.
-   Choose to enable draft authoring, enabling you to create decision tables in draft mode before publishing them for use.

When you first create a decision table, you can do the following:

-   Add inputs, condition columns, and result columns.
-   Add decision rows.
-   Save the decision table.
-   Export the table to Microsoft Excel and import back into Decision Builder. You can export and import only after saving the table.
-   Edit the properties of the decision table.
-   Delete the decision table.

## Complete decision table

On a saved decision table, you can do the following:

-   Publish the decision table.
-   Edit the decision rows again in the Decision Builder interface.
-   Edit the inputs, condition columns, or result columns.
-   Export to Excel, edit the decision rows again, and import into Decision Builder to update the decision table.
-   Test your decision table to make sure the rules provide the desired outcome for a given set of input data.

## Pagination

Pagination presents large data sets in smaller, manageable sections called pages. Select a page number to navigate between pages.

**Note:**

-   You must save changes before leaving the current view, when reordering, adding, deleting rows, or modifying the table.
-   If a new row is added at the end of the page, the added row moves to the next page after saving.
-   Post export/import, filtering, or when changing the number of rows in the page, you’re redirected to the first page.
