When matching each Extraction Rules activity, the program sequentially builds hypotheses for all created elements. Element hypotheses are formulated sequentially (from the first element in the tree to the last). A hypothesis tree is then created using the formulated hypotheses. If the variant is matched successfully, the hypothesis tree is displayed in the Tree of Hypotheses pane:Documentation Index

View element hypotheses
To view element hypotheses for a group element:
To navigate back by one level, use the Go One Level Up command in the context menu.
Understand the hypothesis tree
The left column of the hypothesis tree lists the elements of nesting level 1 in the same order as they are described in the element tree. The right column contains special icons representing hypotheses for that particular element. Formulated hypotheses are connected by lines that demonstrate the order of their formulation. Best path hypotheses are connected using green lines, while all other lines are gray.Hypothesis icons
| Icon | Description |
|---|---|
| A hypothesis from the best path. | |
| A hypothesis not from the best path. | |
| A null hypothesis from the best path. | |
| A null hypothesis not from the best path. | |
| An incomplete chain of hypotheses for a Group element (Group, Repeating Group, Header, Footer). You can view an incomplete chain of hypotheses to locate a non-detected element. | |
| The branch of the element displays the hypothesis from the best path. To view all the hypotheses, press ”+” or select Expand Active in the shortcut menu. | |
| Displays all the hypotheses in the branch of the element. To hide the hypotheses which are not from the best path, press ”-” or select Collapse Active in the shortcut menu. | |
| The sub-branch of hypotheses for the element was discontinued at this point. |
