# Operators

## Operators in Decision Tables

Every condition cell in the [decision table](/doc/~/changes/VuchuDyabVa3NSXAKjpZ/decision-tables/decision-table-designer.md) can have a different operator. There are two types of operators which you can use [**General**](/doc/~/changes/VuchuDyabVa3NSXAKjpZ/decision-tables/operators/general-operators.md)**,** [**Date**](/doc/~/changes/VuchuDyabVa3NSXAKjpZ/decision-tables/operators/date-operators.md) **or** [**Functions**](/doc/~/changes/VuchuDyabVa3NSXAKjpZ/decision-tables/functions.md)**.**

### General operators

General operators can be used for basic decision rules where you need to use String, Number or Boolean.
