6.9. Guided Decision Trees

A decision tree is a graphical representation of a decision model in a tree-like manner. You can create simple decision trees in Business Central with flat data object models. The editor does not support nested data objects.

The editor offers a palette on the left-hand side (with available data objects, fields and corresponding actions) and a working area on the right-hand side where you can drag and drop the data objects to build a decision tree. You can use connectors and applicable child objects prompted by the editor, to complete your tree. You can manipulate each node using its Delete, Edit, and Collapse icons.

While creating a decision tree, you must remember the following points:

  • A tree must have a data object at the root.
  • A tree can only have one root.
  • Data objects can have other data objects, field constraints, or actions as children.
  • The field constraints must be on fields of the same data object as the parent node.
  • Field constraints can have either other field constraints or actions as children.
  • The field constraints must be on fields of the same data object as the parent node.
  • Actions can only have other actions as children.
Note

Guided Decision Trees and Scorecards are Technology Preview features, and therefore not currently supported in Red Hat JBoss BRMS.
