Clicking on the "Cases/Beliefs" tab will bring forward the cases pane, see Figure 1. The case pane offers the option of selecting a node and one of it's states and displaying the beliefs for that state in each case, highlighted by a color.

Figure 1: Cases - Beliefs pane |
This pane consists of six elements, a drop down box at the top to
select what
node to analyse, a dropdown box to select one of the node's states, a
check box
(Remove evidence), the color threshold spinner, a refresh button and a
table
showing the cases.
By selecting a node and one of its states, the case table displays the
beliefs
for that node in each case for which no evidence is entered. The
information for
the selected node will always be displayed in the first column after
the "Case
no." column (second column).
By checking the Remove evidence check box and pressing the refresh button, beliefs are retracted and displayed for cases where evidence was entered in the node under analysis
The color threshold spinner offers the option of selecting
the belief
values to be colored (the values higher than the selected are
colored). The
tone of the color indicates how high the value is (the darker the color
the
higher the value is). The coloring ability together with the ability to
sort the
column makes it easier to notice the values desired.
To sort the column
click,
once on it's header for ascending order or twice for descending.
It is possible to save one or more cases to a file so they can be
used in another wizard (f.ex Parameter Sensitivity).
After selecting one or more cases right click on the mouse and
select "Save Case" for saving one case, or "Save Selected Cases" for
saving many cases. (see Figure 2).
