To see the structure of a rule you can use the Attribute Dependencies view. This view shows the dependencies of a selected attribute. This is a useful tool for checking whether or not intermediate attributes are only proved by the attributes you expect to be proving them.
To open the Attribute Dependencies view, select View | Attribute Dependencies. In this view, use the browse button to select the attribute whose dependencies you want to view.
TIP: If your rulebase is very large, searching for an attribute in the Attribute Selector will be quicker if you turn off the Filter search results on each keystroke option under File | Project Properties | Common Properties | General.
Once you have selected the attribute, use the following options to customize the view.
Show intermediates check box - if selected, includes intermediate attributes in the list view. This check box is only enabled if the Show as a flat list option is selected above.
As you change these options, the view will update in the pane below.
You can also see the structure of your rules using rulebase visualizations to see how the attributes influence one another. For more information, see Create, modify or delete a rulebase visualization. Once you have created a rulebase visualization you can add dependencies to it by selecting Generate Influencing Rules when generating the rule structure.
