Viewing a Customer Decision Tree

The Customer Decision Trees have the potential to become large and occupy more space than the screen real estate allows for. The hierarchy viewer component used to display the Customer Decision Tree provides several features to assist in viewing the Customer Decision Tree effectively.

Expanding and Collapsing Branches

One way to limit the amount of space taken up by the Customer Decision Tree is to collapse branches of the tree. For any node that has children, a small triangle appears at the bottom of the box for that node. Hovering over the triangle enlarges it and displays an option to collapse that node if it is expanded and expand the node if it is collapsed.

Moving the Tree

If the entire Customer Decision Tree is not visible on one screen, the Customer Decision Tree can be moved to make other parts of the tree visible. The view can be moved by either clicking and dragging or by using the panning controls in the control bar for the hierarchy viewer.

Zooming

The hierarchy viewer provides some controls for zooming in and out to allow more or less of the tree to be in view at a time. Zooming out shrinks the size of the nodes, which may make them difficult to read.
