Each Number Validation Table object is the child of a Number Validation object.
This object defines the attributes of the routing request that should be matched against the Number Validation Entries within the table and specifies how the closest match should be decided. This table also defines a default next action and an Attribute Set that should be applied unless the matched entry specifies otherwise.
