4. Hierarchy |
Hierarchy area allows you to create the hierarchy tree structure with the components selected from hierarchy configuration step which we looked at.
You can navigate to this area through Custom Hierarchies > Hierarchy.
Once you select the hierarchy from the dropdown menu given on the top right corner, you can click on the hierarchy nodes and Add the Title and other required components to create the hierarchy tree structure.
You can add the required number of units under each level using the 'New Child Unit' option displayed under the specific level. However, you cannot amend the number of levels using this page.
Each time you click on the arrow shown next to a hierarchy node, the units under that specific level will be displayed in a tree structure. If you wish to add a unit to the level, you can click on the New Child Unit label and continue adding the details requested.
Clicking on a node will display fields that provide the option to move the node or edit the title of the node.
5. Linking to Actions |
You can link actions to your Hierarchy through the 'Links' tab within the action menu. This can be accessed via Quick Navigation, expanding an action and then clicking on the title of the relevant action.
