Save a DMN decision
As with BPMN, the modeller batches changes and a save flushes them before writing. The stored file is DMN XML.
The practical advice is the same: commit the cell you are editing before saving.
#What this is for
Understanding what a save actually does.
Diagnosing a save that appears to have missed the last cell.
Knowing what is stored and in what format.
#How it works
Action | How |
|---|---|
Flush | Pending modeller changes are applied. |
Write | The DMN XML is written. |
Version | Each save creates a restorable version. |
Close without saving | Discards the session's changes. |
#A few things that catch people out
Press Escape or Tab out of a cell before saving, so the value commits.
The close button is a cancel.
Saved files are standard DMN and open elsewhere unchanged.
