One of the major strengths of QGeNIe is its graphical user interface. QGeNIe users have repeatedly and consistently praised it for being pleasant, easy to use, and intuitive. It literally cuts the model development time by orders of magnitude. Because this is the bottleneck in applying decision-theoretic methodologies in practice, it translates directly to considerable savings. We have paid a lot of attention to detail and one of the reasons why it is so good is its physical appearance. While each of the sections of this manual contains elements of graphical user interface, which we hope the reader will experience as pleasant and intuitive, this section points out some ways in which your interaction with the program can be enhanced and made more efficient.
