Describing Tree Nodes

A node in PeopleSoft Tree Manager has three parts: the node image, the node name, and a node description.

In this example, the node is collapsed, so the folder image is closed. The node name is 10600, and the node description is Branch Office Administration.

In this example, the node skips a level.

To display images for working with nodes, click the description or node name.

This example illustrates Node with editing images. Definitions for the images appear following the example.

This is a complete list of node editing images. When you highlight a node, only the images representing the available actions appear:

Field or Control	Description
	Click the Expand Node Hierarchy icon to expand all child objects for the selected node.
	Click the Insert Child Node icon to insert a new node that will be a child of the currently selected node.
	Click the Insert Sibling Node icon to insert a new node that will share the same parent as the currently highlighted node.
	Click the Insert Detail icon to insert a new detail value. This icon is available only if the detail value information has been entered on the Tree Structure Detail page.
	Click the Update Node Properties icon to display the Node Properties page, which enables you to change the level of a node or rename a node.
	Click the Edit Data to display a page for maintaining or editing the application data for the node. The table that stores the data is defined on the Tree Structure Maintenance page.
	Click the Delete Node icon to delete the selected node. Note: If you delete an object that has child nodes, all of its child nodes will also be deleted.
	Click the Cut icon to cut one or multiple tree nodes or tree leaves, and then use the Paste as Sibling or Paste as Child icons to paste all cut tree nodes or tree leaves at once as children or siblings. When you perform cut and paste in Tree Manager, note that: A node can be pasted as a sibling or child of a node, but a node cannot be pasted as sibling of a leaf. A leaf can be pasted as a child of a node or sibling of a leaf, but a leaf cannot be pasted as sibling of a node. A node cannot be pasted as a child or sibling of its own children. When a node is cut, the Paste icon is available with any of its children. The Cut icon in a node or a leaf is not available if its parent is cut. Moving a node moves all its children (child nodes and leaves) along with it. Root node and branched node cannot be cut. Note: This icon is not available for dynamic detail leaves.
	Click the Paste as Sibling icon to paste a cut node into the tree as a sibling.
	Click the Paste as Child icon to paste a cut node into the tree as a child.
	Click the Branch icon to subdivide that part of the tree into a separate component that can be maintained and viewed separately from the main tree.
	Click the Open Branch icon to open the selected branch in PeopleSoft Tree Manager.
	Click the UnBranch icon to remove the selected branch and PeopleSoft Tree Manager replaces the branch image with the node image. Any nodes that report to the selected node are now available in the tree.
