Description

How can i make that the step has a one kind of decision tree (responses can exclude another steps) instead of linearity in steps? i.e.: I have Machinery Mechanical or Hidraulic and Mechanical have some options diferents of Hidraulic

Well the only real way to do this is to structure the taxonomy to reduce in such a way that questions about certain branches of the taxonomy tree are never asked. In this way responses should exclude steps.

Can you show me an example of this situation, please? I really apreciate this :)

Thanks in advance.

Hmm I looked into this and I may have actually forgotten to build this feature! I don't see it in the code, but I have definitly thought of this.

Will have to get back to you on this, sorry!

I will implement two features in Finder Wizard that will somewhat address this
- an early exit when the pool of nodes is down to 1 or 0
- skipping a step where only one choice can be made

This has changed slightly, but you can see placeholders for the new settings in the new fw3 beta. They're just not implemented.
