Decision Tree Tab Commands

The Decision Tree tab contains a number of important commands for building and modifying decision tree models. You'll find commands for adding and editing nodes/instances, managing values and links, and re-building the default tree. Further, you can add or remove branch control/block and edit get/pay expressions for the model. Within the Objective & Utility group you can add or edit multiple attributes, objective function(s), and risk tolerance. You'll find that some of the same commands are also included on the Influence Diagram tab, while some are only available from the Decision Tree tab.

Button	Command	Action
	Decision Tree | Object | Edit	Edit the selected object (node, branch, text box, etc.). If nothing is selected, the Select Node dialog will be launched.
	Decision Tree | Node | Add | Decision	Creates a new decision node in the Decision Tree
	Decision Tree | Node | Add | Discrete Chance	Creates a new discrete chance node in the Decision Tree
	Decision Tree | Node | Add | Value	Creates a new value that can be added to the branches of a node in the Decision Tree as a part of a get/pay expression.
	Decision Tree | Node | Add | Continuous Chance	Creates a new continuous chance node in the Decision Tree
	Decision Tree | Node | Add | Controlled Node	Creates a new controlled node in the Decision Tree
	Decision Tree | Node | Change To	Changes the selected node to the node type indicated
	Decision Tree | Node | Manage Values	Edit or delete values in the models
	Decision Tree | Links | Link Events	Link events in the Decision Tree to spreadsheet driver cells
	Decision Tree | Links | Manage	View/edit all the sources to which the model is linked
	Decision Tree | Instance | Add Decision	Adds a new instance of a decision node to the Decision Tree, you can optionally create a new event
	Model | Tree | Instance | Add Chance	Adds a new instance of a decision node to the Decision Tree, you can optionally create a new event
	Model | Tree | Instance | Add Controlled	Adds a new instance of a controlled node to the Decision Tree, you can optionally create a new event
	Decision Tree | Instance | Asymmetric	Check the box to make the branches of the selected node asymmetric, un-check to make symmetric
	Decision Tree | Instance | Detach	Detaches a subtree starting at the selected node
	Decision Tree | Instance | Subtree	Creates a perform subtree beginning with the selected node and performed at the endpoint selected
	Decision Tree | Instance | Branch Control	For the selected set of branches, choose the branch that the instance should be controlled to
	Decision Tree | Instance | Sticky Control	Check this box to make the selected control settings sticky
	Decision Tree | Instance | Control All	For multiple selections, control all of the branches selected to one of the settings (Low, Nominal, High, Default) in the drop-down
	Decision Tree | Instance | Remove (Control/Block)	Remove branch control or block from the selected branches
N/A	Decision Tree | Get/Pay	See Specifying Get/Pay Expressions for information on editing Get/Pay expressions using the ribbon
N/A	Decision Tree | Objective & Utility	See Multiple Attributes and Objective Functions for information on editing attributes and the objective function of the model
	Decision Tree | Model | Default Tree	Build or re-build the default tree, replacing the existing tree
	Decision Tree | Model | Settings	Change decision tree settings for the model
