Using Sequence Nodes

A Decision Tree can optionally have one or more 'Sequence Node'. This allows a long sequence of steps (Objects) to be displayed vertically rather than horizontally, to make better use of the visible screen display.

If a Sequence Node is used in a decision tree, which is a single-select list then the tree's inference will terminate when it reaches an outcome that has a set value; whereas if the decision tree is a multi-select then the tree's inference will continue to the last outcome and the tree will acquire all the outcome values encountered.

For example, the following tree is a single-select list with numerous outcomes, if the ProductCategory has the value "Shirts" selected then the outcome of the tree is also "Shirts" and the decision tree is exited.
