The Create Rule Table From Definition step allows users to define the properties to create a Rule Table.

Common Errors
Please provide a Valid Name
If the Rule Name is null or empty, the step will cause an error.
To correct this, specify a name for the Rule.

--- End of inner exception stack trace ---Object reference not set to an instance of an object
If the Row for the Rule is not configured correctly, the step will cause an error.
To correct this, define the properties for the Row field.

If the ListValue field for a Cell has multiple values entered, the step will cause an error.
To correct this, use the MultipleValues field if a list of values is needed.
