Properties for a Particular Table Type

Some properties are used just for particular types of tables. It means that they make sense just for tables of a special type and can be defined only for those tables. Almost all properties can be defined for Decision Tables, except for the Datatype Package property intended for Datatype Tables, the Scope property used in Properties Tables, the Auto Type Discovery property used in Spreadsheet Tables, and the Precision property designed for Test Tables.

OpenL Tablets checks applicability of properties and produces an error if the property value is defined for table not intended to contain the property.

Applications using OpenL Tablets rules can utilize properties for different purposes. All properties are organized into the following groups:

Group Description
Business dimension Business Dimension Properties
Version Rule Versioning
Info Info Properties
Dev Dev Properties

Properties of the Business Dimension and Rule Versioning groups are used for rule versioning. They are described in detail further on in this guide.
