Any Hit Policy

The rules on a decision table with this hit policy can overlap only if the overlapped rules have the same output entries. The decision table does not validate successfully with this hit policy when the output values are not equal.

Sample

The following decision table describes a credit card approval policy. According to the policy, an applicant must have a minimum credit score of 650 and be 18 or older. Sometimes, rules 1 and 2 overlap, but because the two produce the same output, the decision table validates successfully.

Example

An applicant has a credit score of 620 and is 17 years old. Though the applicant matches rules 1 and 2, the decision table editor only highlights the first match:
