This section includes the fields and descriptions for the Reporting Hierarchy Nodes sub-tab.
| Field | Description |
|---|
| Node No.
|
In this field, you can specify the desired number of the node when creating a node.
|
| Description
|
In this field, you can enter a description of the current node. The description appears as the fixed line text when the node is printed in reports.
|
| Parent Node No.
|
In this field, you can specify the number of another node which should be the parent node of the current node, thus hierarchically placing the current node beneath the parent node in the structure.
You cannot specify a node which results in a circular structure, and you cannot specify a leaf node to which a value has been assigned in the fields “<Key Value 1-3>.”
|
| Parent, Description
|
This field shows the name of the parent node specified in the field “Parent Node No.” above.
|
| Level
|
This field shows the level at which the current node is located. The node is placed one level below its parent node. If the node has no parent node, it is located at level one.
|
| Detail Level
|
In this field, you can specify the detail level of the current node. In certain reports, the detail level is used for ensuring a balance in the amount of detail shown at the same time, so that very aggregated information in one branch of the reporting hierarchy is not shown at the same time as leaves in another branch of the hierarchy (which may be placed at the same level in the field “Level”). However, the functionality of the field fully relies on the report in question, as the detail level may be used in different ways from report to report. Therefore you should see the manual for your individual reports for information on their use of the detail level of each node.
|
| Sorting by
|
In this field, you can specify a number to manage the position of the current node in relation to the other nodes placed beneath the same parent node as the current node. In reports, the nodes below a given node will be sorted according to their sorting keys, the node with the lowest sorting key number being shown first.
|
| Account No.
|
This field shows the number of the account or dimension that the reporting node refers to. The title of this field depends on the type of the reporting hierarchies.
