Add a Jump Node

Use a jump node to link to previously defined nodes in the knowledge tree. For example, if the answer to the query posed in a parent node requires repetition of previous steps in a procedure. Jump nodes do not have subnodes. You would not typically nest a jump node immediately beneath the root node of a knowledge tree.

Note: You can add up to seven subnodes to a query node.

To add a jump node

1. Select the query node under which to add the jump node in the Tree pane.

   The Query Text (HTML) pane opens.

2. Click Add Jump.

   The Tree Designer adds a jump node below the selected node in the Tree pane and adds a response field in the Query Text (HTML) pane.

3. Enter a response to the question or statement posed in the parent node in the new field in the Query Text (HTML) pane.
4. Right-click the new jump node in the Tree pane, then select Link Jump Node from the shortcut menu.
5. Select the query or conclusion node to which to link the jump node in the Tree pane.

   The jump node's name in the Tree pane changes to include the name of the linked query or conclusion node. For example, if you linked a node called "Wednesday", the jump node name changes to "NODE: Wednesday." When a user selects the jump node in the knowledge tree at runtime, the linked query or conclusion node displays.

6. Click Save.

   The Tree Designer saves your changes.
