Description

The following screen image is an example of Structure tab for Tree Structure setup. When you set up a tree structure, you can set the indirection at the bottom of the Structure tab, with the radio buttons in the Additional Key Field.

In the Tree Classes API, you set these same values with the IndirectionMethod property. The values are:

• "S": SetID Indirection.

• "B": Business Unit.

• "U": User Defined Node Key.

Both the User Defined Node Key and the Business Unit are the key field set with the NodeRecord property for this tree structure. If Business Unit is set, the key field set with the NodeRecord property is a business unit.
