1. A system comprising:
a memory;
at least one processor in communication with the memory; and
program instructions executable by one or more processor via the memory to perform a method comprising:
determining an insertion interval of a row for insertion into a decision table, wherein a decision table representation of the decision table is presented on a user interface; and
guiding insertion of the row for insertion into the decision table based on a result of the determining, wherein the determining includes comparing the row for insertion to respective rows of plurality of rows of the decision table to determine for each respective row of the plurality of rows whether the row for insertion is capable of being fired, wherein the decision table is configured so that a certain row of the decision table is not capable of being fired on satisfaction of a condition, wherein the determining is performed so that each of the plurality of rows is capable of being fired, wherein the determining and guiding are performed to restrict a user using the user interface from causing insertion of the row for insertion into the decision table at a row order of the decision table at which the row for insertion is incapable of being fired, wherein the guiding includes restricting insertion of a row for insertion at row indices other than the determined row insertion interval, prompting the user to define a row insertion request for the determined row insertion interval, and highlighting a row representation of rows of the row insertion interval.
