Configure a question node in Decision Tree Builder to add follow-up questions or instructions. Answer to these questions either lead to a guidance or a further set of questions.

## Before you begin

Role required: admin, sn_gd_core.decision_tree_author

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllGuided DecisionsDecision Trees.
2. Select the decision tree from the list.
3. Select Open in Builder.
4. In Decision Tree Builder, add a new node by selecting the Add path icon (![Add path icon]()) on a node.
5. Select Add node.
6. In the pop-up window, select Ask users at least one question to configure a question node.
7. Enter a name for the node.
8. In the Question 1 section, enter a question or instruction for customers.
9. **Optional:** Make this question a required question by enabling the Required question field.
10. **Optional:** Enter more details related to your question or instruction in the Additional details field.
11. Select the type of answer.  
    For a description of the answer types, see [Answer types for questions](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/fnU_bea5VLMiK6YWfUFIAA "Several answer types are available for agents to provide answers to questions in a decision tree.").

    The answer the customer provides is passed to other nodes and paths via input mapping.
12. **Optional:** Link inputs to reuse answers from prior nodes.  
    For more information, see [Reuse answers at decision points](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/LpqemIEsl6DRL_01PzZegQ "Link inputs to reuse answers from prior nodes in Decision Tree Builder. For example, in a decision tree that deals with a loan application, you could reuse the input related to the customer’s salary at multiple decision points to determine the loan eligibility.").
13. **Optional:** Add more questions or instructions.
14. Select Save and close.
