You cannot make changes to your hierarchy structures in this zone.
If you move up or down in the hierarchy structure, this window automatically changes the parent value displayed in the Parent Value field to show you the parent value in the level immediately above the level of the values you are viewing.
For example, suppose you have a hierarchy structure (in this case a networked structure) like this:
1000 _________|___________ 00003 100 200 300 __|_________ ____|____ ____|______ / 403 503 101 102 301 302 303 <----- _______|______ 303A 303B 303C __|__ 303BB
where 303 is a child of both 300 and 00003. Suppose you want to look at the structure starting with the value 1000 in the Segment Values zone. When you open the View Hierarchies window, you see:
Parent 1000 _____________ 100 200 Down 300
You choose Down with your cursor on 300, as shown above (Down is your only choice for this value). Once you choose Down, you then see (immediately):
Parent 300 ____________ 301 302 Down 303
You choose Down with your cursor on 303, as shown above (you can choose from Up or Down for this value). Once you choose Down, you then see:
Parent 303 _____________ 303A Down 303B 303C
You choose Down with your cursor on 303B, as shown above (you can choose from Up, Down, or Network for this value). Once you choose Down, you then see:
Parent 303B _____________ Up 303BB
You choose Up, as shown above (you can only choose Up for this value). Once you choose Up, you then see:
Parent 303 _____________ 303A Network 303B 303C
At this point, your cursor is next to the value 303B and the parent displayed in the Parent Value zone is 303. When you choose up, you can either go back up to your original parent value (303, which has the parent value 300), or you can go over to the other hierarchy path that leads to the parent value 00003. Once you choose 303B, you see a window offering you the two choices 300 and 00003 (these choices indicate the values that would appear in the Parent Value field. You will see 303 in the Children block if you make either choice), and 300 is highlighted. You choose 00003 this time, and then you see:
Parent 00003 ____________ 303 403 503
At this point you cannot go up any further in the hierarchy structure.
