You can include a node in a hierarchy in two ways:
Create a new node
Insert an existing node not currently in the hierarchy
Caution! | Using commas in node names can cause difficulties when working with certain properties that are comma-delimited, such as Ancestor List, Child List and client-created node lists. In addition, using the characters defined in the system preferences for the shared node separator and the hierarchy separator can cause unpredictable behavior and should be avoided. If the query wildcard characters asterisk ( * ) and underscore ( _ ) are used in a node name they cannot be easily searched for unless a derived formula is used to search for them using the Pos function. |
To create a node and add it to a hierarchy:
From Hierarchies, select Open.
The top node of the hierarchy is displayed in a node tree.
Optional: Select Leaf Node if the node is a leaf. Otherwise, it is created as a limb node.
Enter a unique name and a description for the node.
Note:
If you are adding a node to a part of the hierarchy tree that has repeated node names, you can click ID to automatically generate a node name. See ID Function.
Select whether to add the node as a child or sibling of the selected node.
To insert an existing node into a hierarchy:
From Hierarchies, select Open.
The top node of the hierarchy is displayed in a node tree.
Select the location of the node:
Existing Hierarchy
Orphan Node List
