Rule Builder > Managing Decision Trees > Test Link Editing Operations

A test link belongs to the decision node portion of the decision tree and specifies a set of conditions pertaining to the node. Test links form a group of items under the same parent (a decision node), that provide a set of decision test values.

Using toolbar commands, or the decision node shortcut menu, you can create and manipulate test links in the tree, see Figure 13.17.

Using the test link shortcut menu you can also create a new decision node and a new test link at the same time, by means of the Insert Decision Node option, see Figure 13.18. A new decision node is created with a new, empty test link attached to it.

Important
In manipulating a test link, you manipulate a whole branch of the underlying decision tree. Consequences of actions at this level often apply to the whole branch, such as removing a test link, which cuts a whole branch of the tree.
