GraphDoc – A User-Friendly Tool to Generate Your Own Decision Trees

For those of you who use DocAssemble, but dislike writing out all that YAML code, this tool is for you. The law school at Maastricht University developed the tool specifically for use with DocAssemble. It is free (no account necessary), and is available online so you don’t have to install anything. Just go to the website, and start working up your decision tree. At the end, you’ll get YAML code that you can copy/paste to your DocAssemble playground.

The school posted a demonstration which is available at LinkedIn. However, if you want a quick explanation on how to use the tool, merely click the “Load default example” button and you’ll get the idea.
