    VisiRule 1
    What is VisiRule?
    VisiRule is a tool for creating decision support software
    purely by drawing charts.

    VisiRule is a graphical tool which lets you draw questions
    and expression which are mapped into rules. VisiRule can
    generate source code which can be compiled and
    executed in-situ or exported and used in a separate
    program.

    What is VisiRule?
    VisiRule be used by people with minimal programming
    skills who want to model their day to day decision
    processes. VisiRule enhances productivity by considerably
    reducing the time it takes to produce a decision support
    system.

    VisiRule combines elements of rule-based processing,
    knowledge-based process, decision support tools and
    artificial intelligence to produce a practical and flexible
    modeling and problem solving tool.

    That you can augment VisiRule with code you have written
    in Prolog, and/or other languages, means that VisiRule can
    be used to model very complex processes.

    Opening your first VisiRule Chart
    1. Start -> Programs -> WIN-PROLOG 4700 -> VisiRule4700

    2. Click on the "File\Open" menu option and navigate to
    the "EXAMPLES\VISIRULE directory. Remember to
    change the "Files of type:" field to "VisiRule Files
    (*.VSR)".

    3. Select the "HELLO.VSR" and click on the "Open" button.
    Opening your first VisiRule Chart
    The "HELLO.VSR" chart will be displayed in its own window:

    Opening your first VisiRule Chart
    Right-clicking on the background of the charts window will
    display a VisiRule popup menu. Select the "Show Code."
    menu item at the bottom.

    Opening your first VisiRule Chart
    The first (and only) question will now be asked:
    Creating a New VisiRule Chart
    1. Click on the New. option on the File menu.


    2. Select the VisiRule Files (*.vsr) entry and click
    on the OK button. A VisiRule window, known as
    a worksheet, will appear.
    The Worksheet
    The worksheet is the canvas where you will draw your chart.
    The VisiRule Toolbar
    Mouse over each icon to know the
    functionality of each icon in the toolbar
    Question Box Types
    In VisiRule, there are six(6) types of Question box:

    1. Single Choice The menu produced will only allow the user
    to select one of the items on the menu.

    2. Multiple Choice This allows the user to select none, one or
    more of the items on the menu.

    3. Number Input Instead of a menu, this option provides an
    input box into which the user can enter any number
    Question Box Types
    4. Integer Input This is like Number Input, but only allows the
    user to enter an integer.

    5. Set Input An input box is also provided by this option. The
    user can type in a list of items, each separated by a space
    character. For example: red amber green

    6. Name Input Another input box is provided into which the
    user can type a word or phrase
    Question Box Types
    Linking Objects Together
    Linking Objects Together
    VisiRule will automatically try to prevent or warn you
    if two objects can not be linked together.
    Exercise
    Please create your own VisiRule chart and save it.
    This is your first VisiRule chart and you can work on
    it much later.
    It can be any design of your choice. Thank you.
