    href="mailto:michael.neale@gmail.com"> Michael Neale Define a ruleset spreadsheet which contains a matrix style decision tables. This is an example of a custom RuleSheetListener. It differs from the standard decision table in the following ways: - AgendaGroup property so that all rules fall within the same agenda-group - Precondition property which specifies a condition that is always included if a rule is being generated - Action property. Each cell within the decision table causes this action to be triggered - HorizontalCondition property. Each column header in the matrix applies this condition - VerticalCondition property. Each row header in the matrix applies this condition A table is identifed by a cell beginning with the text "RuleTable". The cells after RuleTable in the same row identify the Horizontal Conditions. The cells after RuleTable in the same column identify the Vertical Conditions. The cells with the matrix identify the actions. Wherever an action cell exists for a Vertical/Horizontal condition intersection the following rule is created: rule "rule_row_col" agenda-group AgendaGroup when Precondition VerticalCondition HorizontalCondition then Action end
