----------------------------------------------------------------
Key: DROOLS-4815
URL:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/DROOLS-4815
Project: Drools
Issue Type: Feature Request
Reporter: Matteo Mortari
Assignee: Matteo Mortari
Priority: Major
Labels: drools-tools
UseCase:
Business user creates a decision table in MS Excel and IMPORTS it to Business Central as
a DMN object (not as DRL / Excel object).
Why? The business people are used to work with MS Excel - and honestly: to create and
maintain larger (> 10 columns && > 10 rows) decision tables is far more
"smooth"/"efficient" in Excel than in Business Central DMN designer
(even after the actual flaws (need to "click" on every cell to edit it; not
possible to move across the table using keyboard (TAB)) will by repaired, the
user-friendliness of the DMN designer can not surpass Excel).
/*
The as-is DMN module of Business Central can not be practically used: the business users
/ anaylsts will simply not click-by-click the real-life decision tables in the DMN
designer.
an experiment with
https://github.com/camunda/camunda-dmn-xlsx din´t work: the import of
the "camunda" produced DMN file to Business Central works OK (i.e. one can see
and edit the decision table), yet the project CAN´T be BUILT.
