Influence Diagram Tab Commands

The Influence Diagram tab contains a number of important commands for building and modifying decision models within the Influence Diagram. You'll find commands for adding and editing nodes, model links, and influence arcs. 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 Decision Tree tab, while some are only available from the Influence Diagram tab.

Button	Command	Action
	Influence Diagram \| Object \| Edit	Edit the selected object (node, arc, text box, etc.). If nothing is selected, the Select Node dialog will be launched.
	Influence Diagram \| Node \| Add \| Decision	Creates a new decision node in the Influence Diagram/Decision Tree
	Influence Diagram \| Node \| Add \| Discrete Chance	Creates a new discrete chance node in the Influence Diagram/Decision Tree
	Influence Diagram \| Node \| Add \| Value	Creates a new value node in the Influence Diagram.
	Influence Diagram \| Node \| Add \| Continuous Chance	Creates a new continuous chance node in the Influence Diagram/Decision Tree
	Influence Diagram \| Node \| Add \| Strategy Table	Creates a new strategy table node in the Influence Diagram/Decision Tree
	Influence Diagram \| Node \| Add \| Controlled Node	Creates a new controlled node in the Influence Diagram/Decision Tree.
	Influence Diagram \| Node \| Add \| Node Collection	Creates a collection within which you can name and add nodes to and collapse/expand in the Influence Diagram. If a set of nodes is selected when the collection is created -- the collection will be created to contain the selected nodes.
	Decision Tree \| Node \| Change To	Changes the selected node to the node type indicated, if several values are selected they can all be changed to chance nodes at once
	Influence Diagram \| Node \| Linked Node	Create and add a linked node of the type indicated to the Influence Diagram
	Influence Diagram \| Node \| Formula Node	Create a new node that is the summation, product, or difference (indicated by the icon) as calculated from the selected value nodes
	Influence Diagram \| Links \| Link Events	Link events in the Influence Diagram to spreadsheet driver cells
	Decision Tree \| Links \| Manage	Link events in the Decision Tree to spreadsheet driver cells
	Influence Diagram \| Arc \| Add	Creates a new arc in the Influence Diagram
	Influence Diagram \| Arc \| From Formulas	Creates new influence arcs in the Influence Diagram that are based on the formulas found within the data definitions of each node
	Influence Diagram \| Arc \| Bend	Bend the selected arcs
	Influence Diagram \| Arc \| Straighten	Straightens the selected arc(s)
N/A	Influence Diagram \| Objective & Utility	See Multiple Attributes and Objective Functions for information on editing attributes and the objective function of the model
	Influence Diagram \| Model \| Settings	Change model spreadsheet link settings
