To create a hierarchy, you first define:

• The existing party that is the root, or uppermost level, of the hierarchy.

• The relationship type for the hierarchy.

The name of the hierarchy is automatically created based on the root node and hierarchy type. For example, if you enter Vision as the root party, and Corporate as the type, then the hierarchy name is Vision - Corporate Hierarchy.

You then add another existing party as a child of the root node.

When you view this hierarchy, you would see this relationship between the root and the child, as well as other existing relationships that belong to the hierarchy. See: Viewing and Updating Hierarchies.
