A Decision Point can be added anywhere in a process flow and lets you analyze the passing and failing rows.
To add a Decision Point process
- From the Navigation or Project View, right-click the input entity you want to split and select Add process branch. The Create Process window opens.
- In Process Selection, select Decision Point and select the Configure Now check box.
- Click OK. The Options tab of the Decision Point process opens.
- Enter the description for the new output.
-
Create a condition. There are three ways to do this:
- Entering the condition manually in the Condition window
- Using the Expression Builder
- Using a business rule from the Rules Library
- Click Finish.
-
Run the Decision Point process. The condition will be applied and the output will be split to the passing and failing rows.
- See example:
-
You want to split the data in the input entity, Usdata (1), based on the address null check rule. You added a Decision Point process to Usdata (1), specified the null check rule, and ran the process. The project would look like this.
-
Once the data is split, you can analyze each output and examine the data in detail (right-click and select Analyze). If you want to run business rules against the output or monitor trend, create an Analysis process.
