Definition

Defines which role the additional entity type in the hierarchy of the selected entity type should or can play.

Use

  • Hierarchy names:

    Select this usage if you want to use the entity type as the root node (hierarchy name). For each entity type for which a hierarchy can be set up, you must specify one additional entity type with this usage. The additional entity type is not allowed to have higher-level entity types, that is, it cannot be used as a to-entity type in a relationship with Leading as the relationship type.

  • No Special Use:

    Entity types with this usage can be used as actual nodes and as lower-level hierarchy nodes.

Dependencies

You can only specify entity types that have 1, 2, or 3 as the storage and use type.

If you have specified that it is possible to build a non-cross-name hierarchy for the selected entity type, the system stores the hierarchy structure for each entity of the additional entity type.
