Understanding Detail Values

A single detail value in PeopleSoft Tree Manager has three parts: the detail image, the detail name, and a detail description. Detail values can also appear as a range of values or as dynamic detail.

This is an example of a detail value with a description.

The following is a complete list of detail value editing images. When you highlight a detail value, only the images that represent the available actions appear.

Field or Control Description

Insert Detail icon

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.

Edit Data icon

Click the Edit Data icon to display a page for maintaining or editing the application data for the detail value. The table that stores the data is defined on the Tree Structure Maintenance page.

Edit Properties icon

Click the Edit Properties to enable you to change the detail value itself.

For example, you can change the range to and range from values.

Delete Detail icon

Click the Delete Detail icon to delete the selected detail.

Cut icon

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.

Paste as Sibling icon

Click the Paste as Sibling icon to paste a cut detail value into the tree as a sibling.
