When all compression options have been exhausted, processing is terminated with a corresponding message:

LF‑ET automatically checks decision tables with every change. You can recognize if compressing possibilities exist or not by checking if the compress button If a decision table after compressing is more difficult to understand than before (as may sometimes be the case), the previous state can easily be restored with the undo function In principle, compression is only possible up to the minimum table (1 condition, 2 actions, 2 rules). |
