Setting an In Effect Date at Decision Table Level
As a default, the rules of a decision table are always in effect. You can set an in effect date at rule level or at decision table level. If you set an in effect date at rule level, it only applies to this rule. If you set an in effect date at decision table level, it applies to all rules of this decision table.
To set an in effect date at decision table level:
3. In the toolbar, click 
. 4. In the Edit in effect dates dialog box, select Always in effect (default), Never in effect, or Date and time frame in effect. If you click Date and time frame in effect, select an operator as described in About In Effect Operators and specify a date and time (optional). Click 
. The decision table is now marked with a clock icon in the upper left corner. If you move the pointer over the clock icon, a tooltip indicates the specified in effect date.
