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 2. Hierarchy Properties
Hierarchy Property | Definition |
|---|---|
Default Display Properties | Default for displaying nodes within the 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. |
Default Match By | Default property by which to synchronize nodes for the current hierarchy. |
Enable Shared Nodes | Determines if shared nodes are allowed in the hierarchy. |
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 URL | URL hyperlink for directly accessing the hierarchy from an external resource |
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 Owner | The user name of the hierarchy owner |
Hierarchy Sort Order | Integer value that determines the order of display for hierarchies within a version or hierarchy group |
ID Length Leaf Property | 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 Property | 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 Property | Points to the node-level property that is used to pre-fill node name when creating new leaf node |
Prefill Limb Property | Points to the node-level property that is used to pre-fill node name when creating new limb node |
Standard Hierarchy Sort | Points to a node-level property to determine default sort order within the hierarchy |
Top Node | Name of the top node for the hierarchy |
Top Node ID | Node ID of the top node |
User Display Properties | 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:
Optional: View a subset of hierarchies by selecting an option from the Group By drop-down list.
Click the property row to edit and make changes.
Note:
For simple data types, 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.
