[rules-users] Guvnor web based decision table

[Johan Kumps]

Hi,

Just to make sure. I would like to migrate the attached excel decision table
to Guvnor. Can you make a suggestion? Migrate or not migrate based on the
current possibilities/features of Guvnor.

Kind regards and thanks in advance.

Johan,
