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.

  • "N": None.

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.

If you are creating a new tree structure, and you do not explicitly set this property, None ("N") is the default value, and is automatically set.

This property can be used only with an open tree structure, that is, you must open the tree structure with the Open method before you can use this property.

This property is read/write.
