Create, modify, test, and update decision tables in Workflow Studio for use in workflows and applications. You can also modify decision tables in Excel.
* **[Create decision tables in Workflow Studio](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/wx~RgFSlJ1dsHi~vPaRAQA)**   
  Create decision tables in Workflow Studio to embed business logic into a series of if-then decision rules. Use decision tables when business logic is complex or may be reused in multiple places.
* **[Duplicate a decision table](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/WJwhjv_UPwJOGfyCpUidaw)**   
  Save time creating similar decision tables by duplicating existing tables in Workflow Studio.
* **[Edit decision tables using draft authoring](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/BZEuzGp2KmTJfmjfHcaY4w)**   
  Edit published decision tables in Workflow Studio when draft authoring is enabled. Without draft authoring enabled, decision tables are active and available to use as soon as they're created.
* **[Modify decision table structure in Workflow Studio](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/ty2mgh~~Ci87LEi6a4h7GA#format-decision-table-in-decision-designer)**   
  Modify the inputs or columns of a decision table in Workflow Studio to keep pace with changing business logic.
* **[Modify decision table rules in Workflow Studio](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/6aHj1BQIuCCvDRvRinUdYA#modify-decision-table-rules)**   
  Modify the rows, default result values, or content of a decision table in Workflow Studio to keep pace with changing business logic.
* **[Use decision tables](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/x7XCLB4gAygsbUkDtGUc7w)**   
  Decision tables built in Workflow Studio are executed in flows with flow logic or in scripts with API calls.
* **[Manage decision tables in Excel](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/ENsxlr~AYLaR4HN8KrZPhQ)**   
  Manage large decision tables in Excel. Export a decision table to an Excel file, edit the file to add or update rows, and import the file back into Workflow Studio.
* **[View related objects in a decision table](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/rV57_SnBacMe0Yvmyym0sw)**   
  See and open objects that are related to your decision table, such as flows, subflows, and playbooks.
* **[Test a decision table in Workflow Studio](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/WU7j0ZMIZrg1YKFoRbaXTw)**   
  Test your decision table in Workflow Studio before publishing to verify the rules provide the desired outcome for a given set of input data.
* **[Create decision table code snippets](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/nsSz2KvJE18NUOy0VpAGxw)**   
  Create code snippets of published decision tables in Workflow Studio to execute the decision table from any script and make it easier to replace hard-coded logic with decisions.
* **[Modify decision tables in the classic UI](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/uZ1rAdDoJkoqH21z4v_PbA#adjust-unsupported)**   
  Workflow Studio supports decision tables that were created in the classic environment. However, some data types and conditions from the classic environment aren't fully supported in Workflow Studio. For unsupported field types and decisions with complex conditional logic, use the decision rule view to modify these condition expressions.
* **[Delete a decision table](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/4uxyaX8Y04PGWjnsIf~deQ)**   
  Delete decision tables that you no longer need from the list of decision tables in Workflow Studio.
* **[Filter conditions in a decision table](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/YAbq9hYbdMGCeJZceRChyA)**   
  Filter the conditions in the decision table to focus on the necessary data.
* **[Use enhanced reference record](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/wWE0mHdci98vnmCLs3rUNw)**   
  View and manage records when referring to other records in the current Decision Tables, without switching to another screen.
* **[Set rows active or inactive](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/yJFbdJhxPnlcSYfztmo1yA)**   
  Set rows in a Decision Tables as active or inactive to include or exclude their conditions and rules during execution without deleting them.
