Learn about hierarchy types and how they define the entity structures used to build hierarchies in your tenant.

A hierarchy type defines a structural relationship between entity types, such as an organization structure or an employee reporting line.

In the Data Modeler, configure the hierarchy types for Advanced hierarchy management. Each hierarchy type requires a name, a display name, and the entity types that can use the hierarchy type. You can have multiple hierarchy types for different structural views, like an organization hierarchy and an employee hierarchy.

For each associated entity type, specify whether it can be a parent, a child, or both. If you don't add any entity types, all entity types are allowed.

From the Hierarchy types page, you can:

• Create hierarchy types
• Edit hierarchy types
• Delete hierarchy types
• View hierarchy type details
