             Summary: purpose and/or howtouse instruction on guided decision tables
                 Key: DROOLS-5091
                 URL: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/DROOLS-5091
             Project: Drools
          Issue Type: Feature Request
          Components: Guided Decision Table Editor
            Reporter: Werner Van Herrewegen
            Assignee: Michael Anstis


As a rule creator I want to have my instructions on how to use and what values are expected to be entered in the cells of a decision table on the same page as where a business user will fill in the values in the columns.

Business people usually only fill in the decision tables so I limit my scope to guided decision tables.

I would like to have a read-only copy of either the (already existing) overview>comments or overview>description field at the top of guided decision tables 'model view'.
Only if the text box contains something

root cause for this demand is that :
* business people want to do as much as possible in ONE grid view (familiar with excel :-) )
* business central allows to do this by adding columns that are not relevant for some rule rows and relevant for other rule rows. (leaving the cell empty removes that rule line in the generated drl code)
* some combinations are not allowed
* and no way to enforce/prevent the allowed/forbidden combinations

It would be nice as a rule builder to add this 'dummy proofing invalid column combinations) to the guided decision tables config data
