Create a decision tree

First create a decision tree.

  • Create a new decision tree in Studio.
     
  • Enter name and display name. 
  • Close the general tab.

     
  • Start building the decision tree by selecting an attribute for the first question ( condition node ).

    note


Tip

Please note attributes used in decision trees must belong to a singleton entity

  • For each possible answer you can select another node via the resource centric controls.  
  • A decision tree must end with a result node (container, asset, tree or action).


     
  • In order to be able to search for a decision tree you must enter one or more symptoms in the symptoms tab on the right.
     
  • Save and close the decision tree when it is finished.

Create a decision tree selector

  • Create a new container.
     
  • Enter the name. 
  • Select AQ_DecisionTreeSelector as the container type. 
  • Close the general tab.
     
  • Enter the name of an attribute which holds the search query.info
Tip

This attribute must belong to a singleton entity and will be placed on the page by the AQ_DecisionTreeSelector container. 

  • Enter the names of the buttons that will be used to search for (matchbutton) and select (selectbutton) a decision tree. 
  • The AQ_DecisionTreeSelector uses a trigram matching algorithm to determine which decision tree symptom matches with the search query and calculates an overall score for each decision tree.
  • Optionally you can enter a threshold ( percentage ) or a max number of results that are displayed.


     

  • Save and close the container when it is finished.
     

Create a decision tree evaluator

  • Create a new container.
  • Enter the name.
  • Select AQ_DecisionTreeEvaluator as the container type.
  • Close the general tab.
  • Enter the names of the buttons that will be used to display the continue and retry button.
  • Optionally you can enter the name of the decision tree if you would like to start a decision tree immediately without using a AQ_DecisiontreeSelector.
  • Optionally you can choose to not ask prefilled questions by setting the skip-filled-question parameter.
  • Optionally you can show derived answers by setting the show-implicit-answers parameter.
  • Optionally you can display answered questions as read-only with the answers-readonly parameter.
  • Optionally you can display action attributes with the show-attribute-solution parameter.

Image Modified

  •  Save and close the container when it is finished.

Create a decision tree flow

  • Now that you have created all individual components you can create the following flow, to search for and execute a flow.



  • Create a page containing the decision tree selector. In our example we named this page advice.
  • Create a sub flow to evaluate the tree.
  • In the sub flow create a page (on which the decision tree evaluator is placed) and a condition node to fetch the system.event.
Note

Please note: the decision tree evaluator still uses actions to navigate a flow. Which actions are available are described in

...

the reference guide.

  • Save the flow.
  • Test your decision tree in the runtime.
