This release also adds two more templates for the actions inside different decision tables: ActionUseObject and ActionIterateWithBreak. that can be useful during complex iterations. Consider a decision model that iterates through order items that include different products as defined in the fragment of the Glossary:
The decision table that processes one order item may look as below:
First, it sets the current object “Product” to be equal to the “Order Product” as defined inside this Order Item (ActionUseObject). Then it should start a loop (ActionIterateWithBreak) that iterates over the array “Tiers” applying the rules “ProcessOneTier” and this iteration should break when the variable “Approval Required” becomes TRUE.
