Hide Information In an Explanation

Explanations can often be too verbose to provide a useful list of reasons for a decision to the user, particularly in these common areas:

• attributes which are used repeatedly throughout the policy model (both input and inferred)
• application-level rules, which only perform system functions which add no value to the user (for example, the claimant is married proved by the claimant marital status ="married")
• relationships, which are used repeatedly throughout the policy model

You can trim explanations with the use of the silent and invisible parameters, by preventing attributes and relationships from being displayed in the explanation, or hiding entire decision trees. You can also hide reference tags in an explanation.
