Knowledge Management › Use the Tree Designer › The Tree Designer Interface › The Tree Pane Shortcut Menu

The Tree Pane Shortcut Menu

The Tree pane shortcut menu opens when you right-click a node in the Tree pane on the Tree Designer window. This menu contains the following commands:

Copy

Puts a copy of the currently selected node (and its subnodes) on the Clipboard. You cannot copy the primary node to the Clipboard. When you copy a query node, its responses are also copied.

Copy Single Node

Puts a copy of the currently selected node (but not its subnodes or responses) on the Clipboard. You cannot copy the primary node to the Clipboard.

Cut

Removes the currently selected node (and its subnodes) from the Tree pane and puts it on the Clipboard. When you cut a query node, the query and its responses are removed from the knowledge tree. Use the Cut command to move a node and its subnodes from one branch of the knowledge tree to another. You cannot cut the primary node or the root node to the Clipboard.

Paste

Pastes a previously copied or cut node (and its subnodes) under the selected query node. You can only paste a node under a query node.

Add Query

Adds a query node to the query node currently selected in the Tree pane. You cannot add a query node to the primary node, a conclusion node, or a jump node.

Add Conclusion

Adds a conclusion node to the query node currently selected in the Tree pane. You cannot add a conclusion node to the primary node, a conclusion node, or a jump node.

Add Jump

Adds a jump node to the query node currently selected in the Tree pane. You cannot add a jump node to the primary node, a conclusion node, or a jump node.

Rename

Opens the Prompt window so you can change the name of the node currently selected in the Tree pane. You cannot rename the primary node.

Link Jump Node

Links the currently selected jump node to the next node you select. You cannot link a jump node to the primary node or to another jump node.

Delete

Deletes the currently selected node (and its subnodes) from the knowledge tree without putting them on the clipboard. When you delete a query node, the query and its responses are removed from the knowledge tree. You cannot delete the primary node.

Check Errors

Checks the knowledge tree for errors, and (if errors exist) displays them in the Results of Error Check pane.

Copy Response

Specifies whether to use response text as the name of an associated node when you create it.

• Select this command to automatically use the text of a node as its name when you create it. When the command is active, a check mark displays to the left of the command name on the menu.
• Clear this command to use the default name (Default Node Name) when you create a node. You can use the Rename command on the Node Actions menu to change the node's name.

This command is also available on the shortcut menu that opens when you right-click a node in the Tree pane.

Default: Selected

Prompt on Node Delete

Specifies whether the Tree Designer prompts you before deleting nodes.

• Select this command to display a confirmation prompt before deleting nodes. When the command is active, a check mark displays to the left of the command name on the menu.
• Clear this command if you do not want the Tree Designer to prompt you to confirm node deletion.

This command is also available on the shortcut menu that opens when you right-click a node in the Tree pane.
