Where referenced
Rules of four other types can reference decision trees:
- In a flow rule, you can reference a decision tree in a decision shape, identified by the Decision shape .
- In an activity, you can evaluate a decision tree using the Property-Map-DecisionTree method.
- A Declare Expression rule can call a decision tree.
- A collection rule can call a decision table.
Access
Use the Application Explorer to access decision trees that apply to work types in your current work pool. Use the Records Explorer to list all decision trees available to you.
Development
The Decision tab offers various formats and choices, depending on settings on the Results tab:
- For an advanced decision tree, complete the Input tab before the Decision tab.
- For a basic decision tree, complete the Results tab first. To restrict the results to one of a few constant values, complete the Results tab before the Decision tab.
