What type of tables contain the rules and values that determine calculations in Rapid Response?

Control tables are used to contain the rules and values that determine calculations in Rapid Response. These tables are essential for establishing how data is processed and analyzed within the system. They provide the necessary framework that defines the logical operations or calculations based on the input data, ensuring that the results generated are accurate and aligned with business rules.

Control tables facilitate dynamic modeling, allowing users to adjust parameters and configurations that directly affect computation without the need to alter core data tables. This flexibility is critical for maintaining responsiveness to changing business environments and requirements, enabling more efficient decision-making based on real-time data.

While other table types serve different functions—like input tables for raw data entry, output tables for displaying results, and reference tables for storing immutable data—the distinctive role of control tables lies in their ability to dictate the logic of calculations, making them a pivotal component in the Rapid Response platform.
