Name

It is possible to choose a name for the root, definitions, and nodes. The names of conditions and modifiers are static and can therefore not be changed. If the name of the root is changed it affects the name of the Rating Period also. The change of the Rating Period name is introduced when saved.

Text field that can contain any keyboard characters.

Id

An identification of generic data to be used in the selection tree. The text is shown after the node condition or modifier within angle brackets. The text string must be unique within a selection tree.

Text field that can contain any keyboard characters.

Tag

The conditions and modifiers that may be updated using the Multi data Update tool, see Section 9.7, have this parameter. Several elements may share the same tag, where updating the value of a data parameter affects all the elements with the same tag at the same time. It is recommended that the tag be a descriptive text, in order to keep track of the data easily.

Text field that can contain any keyboard characters. Up to 100 characters.

Comment

It is possible to add a comment for a node, condition, modifier, or a link. The comment is visible in the tooltip when the mouse pointer is placed over an entry in the selection tree. This gives the rating designer the possibility to explain the purpose or reasons an entry in the selection tree with more words than is offered when naming the node.
