Hierarchy properties are defined at the hierarchy level and are the same for all nodes in the hierarchy. By definition, hierarchy properties are always local properties.
Table 1. Hierarchy Properties
Hierarchy Property | Definition |
|---|---|
Default Display By Properties | Default for displaying nodes within the hierarchy |
Default Hierarchy Sort | Points to a node-level property to determine default sort order within the hierarchy |
Default Match By | Default property by which to synchronize nodes for the current hierarchy. |
Default Paste Properties | If set, the Use Default Property List option is displayed in the Paste Properties dialog box. When this option is selected, only the properties specified here are pasted. If not set, the option is not displayed. |
Enable Shared Nodes | Determines if shared nodes are allowed in the hierarchy. |
Hierarchy Description | Hierarchy description |
Hierarchy Group | Displays the hierarchy group to which the hierarchy is assigned |
Hierarchy ID | Unique, internal identifier for the hierarchy |
Hierarchy Name | Hierarchy name |
Hierarchy Node Type | Points to the node-level property that is used to determine if a specified node is a certain Node Type. Enables the use of node types for a hierarchy. |
Hierarchy Owner | The user name of the hierarchy owner. |
Hierarchy Sort Order | Integer value to allow sorting the order in which hierarchies appear within the version |
ID Length Leaf Prop | Used with the ID feature to determine the total length of the ID (excluding the prefix and including leading zeros). Points to the node-level property that is used to specify the length for the specified leaf node. If not set, then the length of the next sequential ID is used without leading zeros. |
ID Length Limb Prop | Used with the ID feature to determine the total length of the ID (excluding the prefix and including leading zeros). Points to the node-level property that is used to specify the length for the specified limb node. If not set, then the length of the next sequential ID is used without leading zeros. |
Prefill Leaf Prop | Points to the node-level property that is used to pre-fill node name when creating new leaf node |
Prefill Limb Prop | Points to the node-level property that is used to pre-fill node name when creating new limb node |
Top Node | Name of the top node for the hierarchy |
Top Node ID | Node ID of the top node |
User Display By | Determines how hierarchy nodes display for the current user |
User Hierarchy Sort | Points to a node-level property to determine sort order within the hierarchy for the current user |
User Match By | Property by which to synchronize nodes in the selected hierarchy for the current user |
User Paste Properties | If set, the Use default Property List option is displayed in the Paste Properties dialog box. When this option is selected, only the properties specified in the hierarchy-level properties are pasted. If not set, the option is not displayed. Note: If this property and Default Paste Properties are both set, the user property takes precedence over the default property. |
To edit hierarchy properties:
Select Hierarchies, then Properties.
Hierarchy properties are displayed on the Properties tab of the sidebar.
Click the property row to edit and make changes.
Note:
For simple data types, you can edit the property value within the editor. For more complex data types, click
to access the advanced editor for the property value. Repeat steps 3 and 4 as needed to edit hierarchy properties.
