Direct Flow Processing with a Decision Table - Cannot select the condition
I cannot select the condition .ScreenerFeedback in the header. I click on the yellow dot and it pops us Drag/Drop this decision - where to drag and drop. when I stop the cursor on the cell pops up "Property: ." - both options do not allow me to do anything. Can you help? thanks

Isabel,
When you single click the header cell of a decision table, it opens. The moment you add a dot (.) you should get a list of available properties (see image #1 below). Selecting it from the list will apply the property condition to the header and you can adjust the label to be anything you like (see image #2 below). As you can see in my example, I accidentally named the property "ScreenFeedback" but I used it anyway and just changed the label to be "Screener Feedback."
If .ScreenerFeedback does not appear in the list, you might have misnamed it, accidentally placed it in a different class when you created it, or perhaps missed creating it alltogether. Try searching for the property ScreenerFeedback (no spaces) in the search area at the top-right of the Designer Studio to ensure the property actually exists (see image #3 below). The ScreenerFeedback property is created in an earlier exercise, "Adding Layouts.". It's possible you might have missed it or not clicked "save" when going through that earlier lesson.
I hope this helps,

Bob, thanks for all the details, but it still not working.
Image 1 is the problem. I started all over again and still the same problem.
I click in the field but nothing pops up. I press "." and nothing happens
I have the screener feedback property created.
Not sure what I am doing wrong.
I could not post the images.
Thanks, Isabel

Isabel,
It's not documented directly in the lesson but you must use Internet Explorer for Decision Tables in Pega 7.1.6 and the SAE I course image is based in 7.1.6. Be sure you are not using Chrome.
The same will be true of correspondence templates (later exercise) and using the Document Wizard (final exercise). This issuee is finally aleviated in Pega 7.1.8.
Hope this helps,
