Tutorial Printer Problem - DiaFlux#
DiaFlux models are an intuitive implementation of flowchart knowledge. That way, the dialog behavior as well as the derivation behavior is modeled as a flowchart, where nodes correspond to questions to be asked and solutions to be derived. Edges between two nodes describe a dependency, e.g., the subsequent questioning in a dialog or the subsequent derivation of a solution. DiaFlux models are usually partitioned in small models that can call each other in order to describe a complex model.
Handling Connection Problems#
A new DiaFlux model is created by inserting the following (empty) markup into the wiki article.
%%DiaFlux %
After saving the article, KnowWE provides a link to visually edit the empty model. When clicking the link, a new window with a visual editor is opened. In the editor, you can drag an drop questions from the left menu pane into the editor panel. Please insert a start and a stop node (from the toolbar) into the flowchart first. Then we open the hierarchy Printer left menu

Handling Quality Problems#
Defining the Initial Questionnaire#
We define the entry of the knowledge base, where the user is asked about the general problem with the printer. A new DiaFlux model is created by inserting the following (empty) markup into the wiki article.
%%DiaFlux %
As depicted in the image below, we also marked this DiaFlux model as the Autostart mode, i.e., the model started at the beginning of a user dialog.

We see, that the question Please specify your problem is asked at the beginning. Then, the questionnaire Connection Questions and Quality Questions is
