Use Case: Searching a Hierarchy (Business Edition Only)


This use case lets a user view information about a billing or business hierarchy, for one or more billing periods. Users can filter the search within a hierarchy by elements assigned to the hierarchy (such as company, account, service agreement, and user), element status, (such as assigned, unassigned, authorized, and unauthorized), and element attributes. Users can refine searches by keywords found within the selection criteria. Users can search across an entire hierarchy or from a particular position within the hierarchy.

Main Path for Searching a Hierarchy

The main path occurs when a user clicks Hierarchy, and then Search to display the Search Hierarchy page. A new session shows the Search Hierarchy page with no data; subsequently accessing this page displays the previous search results.

Alternate Paths for Searching a Hierarchy

No alternate paths occur in this use case.
