Reporting Hierarchies Tab

This section includes the fields and descriptions for the Reporting Hierarchies tab.

Reporting Hierarchy Island

Field Description
Reporting Hierarchy No. In this field, you can specify a reporting hierarchy number when creating a hierarchy.
Description In this field, you can specify a description of the current hierarchy.
Type In this field, you can specify the type of the current hierarchy. The type determines the information type to which the hierarchy applies. This means that on lines representing leaves, you can assign the leaf to an object of the type in question. If, for instance, you have selected the type “Location,” you can assign a value in the dimension Location to each leaf. For a description of the effects of assigning leaves to objects, see the fields “<Key Value 1-3>.”

When you select a type, the columns used for assigning objects to leaves are applied the relevant names. For instance, if you specify “Account,” one of the columns is named “Account No.,” and the remaining two columns are assigned a blank heading. If you select one of the local dimensions, two columns are assigned a name, as you must then specify both a local specification list and a value within the list in question.

To assign an object to a leaf on a line, specify a value in the named column or columns only.

Standard In this field, you can specify whether the current hierarchy is the standard hierarchy of the type specified in the field “Type.” There can be no more than one standard hierarchy for each type.

Access Level Island

Field Description
Access Level In this field, you can specify the name of an access level. You only have access to the current hierarchy if you have been assigned to the same or a higher level in the workspace User Access Levels. This means that you can only run Maconomy Universe reports using hierarchies to which you have access. Furthermore, in this workspace, a given user can only see the current hierarchy if he or she has access to this level. Please note that this access control model only applies if the standard access control configuration has not been changed in your Maconomy system. If it has, the access to reporting hierarchies may depend on other factors. For more information about this, please see the section “Introduction to the Access Control System.”

If no access level is specified, all users have access to the current hierarchy.

This field also shows the description of the selected access level, as entered in the workspace Access Levels.

Selection Criteria Island

Field Description
Node No. In these fields, you can specify a range of node numbers. Only nodes with numbers within the specified range are shown in the sub-tab.
Description In these fields, you can specify a range of descriptions. Only nodes with descriptions within the specified range are shown in the sub-tab.
Parent Node No. In these fields, you can specify a range of node numbers. Only nodes whose parent node number is within the specified range are shown in the sub-tab.
Level In these fields, you can specify a range of level numbers. Only nodes placed at a level within the specified range are shown in the sub-tab.
Sorting Key In these fields, you can specify a range of sorting key numbers. Only nodes with sorting key numbers within the specified range are shown in the sub-tab.
