Which of the following act as input data for a decision table? Note: There are 2 correct answers to this question.

Question

Options

• AAn automatic decision
• BA decision requirement
• CA decision gateway
• DA sub-decision

• A
  6% (2)
• B
  82% (28)
• C
  12% (4)

Explanation

In DMN (Decision Model and Notation), a decision table receives its input column values from decision requirements (B) - the input data nodes defined in a Decision Requirements Diagram that specify what external information the decision needs - and from sub-decisions (D) - lower-level decisions whose output results flow upward as input data into the parent decision table.

Option A (automatic decision) is wrong because an automatic decision describes how a decision is executed (without human intervention), not a source of input data - it's a classification of decision behavior, not a feeder.

Option C (decision gateway) is wrong because gateways are a BPMN process-flow concept used to route execution paths; they don't exist in DMN's decision model and don't provide input data to decision tables.

Memory tip: Ask yourself "what flows INTO the table?" - Requirements and sub-Decisions both feed data in (B and D). Gateways route flow (BPMN, not DMN), and automatic decisions describe execution style, not data - so they stay out.
