Guided row insertion

A computer program product comprising:

• a computer readable storage medium readable by one or more processing unit and storing instructions for execution by one or more processor for performing a method comprising:
• determining an insertion interval of a row for insertion into a decision table;
• and
• guiding insertion of the row for insertion into the decision table based on a result of the determining, wherein the determining includes comparing the row for insertion to respective rows of plurality of rows of the decision table to determine for each respective row of the plurality of rows whether the row for insertion is more specific or less specific than the respective row, wherein the decision table is configured so that a certain row of the decision table is not capable of being fired if there is a less specific row in the decision table ordered before the certain row, wherein the determining is performed so that that each of the plurality of rows is capable of being fired, wherein the determining and guiding are performed to restrict a user from causing insertion of the row for insertion into the decision table at a row order of the decision table at which the row for insertion is incapable of being fired, wherein the determining and guiding are performed to restrict a user from causing insertion of the row for insertion into the decision table at a row order of the decision table that would render a certain row of the decision table other than the row for insertion incapable of being fired, wherein the guiding includes restricting insertion of a row for insertion at row indices other than the determined row insertion interval, prompting a user to define a row insertion request for the determined row insertion interval, and highlighting a row representation of rows of the row insertion interval.

A system comprising:

• a memory;
• at least one processor in communication with the memory;
• and
• program instructions executable by one or more processor via the memory to perform a method comprising:
• determining an insertion interval of a row for insertion into a decision table;
• and
• guiding insertion of the row for insertion into the decision table based on a result of the determining, wherein the determining includes comparing the row for insertion to respective rows of plurality of rows of the decision table to determine for each respective row of the plurality of rows whether the row for insertion is more specific or less specific than the respective row, wherein the decision table is configured so that a certain row of the decision table is not capable of being fired if there is a less specific row in the decision table ordered before the certain row, wherein the determining is performed so that that each of the plurality of rows is capable of being fired, wherein the determining and guiding are performed to restrict a user from causing insertion of the row for insertion into the decision table at a row order of the decision table at which the row for insertion is incapable of being fired, wherein the determining and guiding are performed to restrict a user from causing insertion of the row for insertion into the decision table at a row order of the decision table that would render a certain row of the decision table other than the row for insertion incapable of being fired, wherein the guiding includes restricting insertion of a row for insertion at row indices other than the determined row insertion interval, prompting a user to define a row insertion request for the determined row insertion interval, and highlighting a row representation of rows of the row insertion interval.
