When you add a member to a new hierarchy, you add it as a child of the top member. For example, if you are creating a metadata file and want to set up accounts, the top member, by default, is named Account. You can add child accounts only to Account. Note that you can rename the top member by right-clicking it.
Note: | If a new member is a child and the parent exists more than once in the tree, the new child is added as a child of all instances of the parent. |
When you add a member to or select a member from Tree View, the member attributes are displayed in the right side of the Metadata Manager workspace.
The right side of Tree View contains the additional tabs described in Table 20.
