When you’re looking at master data, hs calculated automatically in the Master Data Information app, you can look at the full hierarchy, you can look at part of the hierarchy and you can, you can look with or without items.

So we have an action called Just Refresh Hierarchy, which display the full hierarchy, rephrase with items, or you can rephrase Hierarchy down or hierarchy down with items.

This means if I’m looking at my hierarchy from the top and only the hierarchy, I don’t display the items.

So this just gives me an overview of the structure.

This would be like, like the menu structure on our webpage or wherever you use the hierarchy.

If you refresh with item, it’ll display all the hierarchy, including the item on each limo.

And if you only want to see part of the hierarchy, you could select here.

For instance, on my mountain bike shop, I could just click the mountain bike shop and say, refresh hierarchy maybe with items down.

And I will only see my bike shop and then part of the bike shop, and I can also click the next level here and say, refresh with items down.

Then I only see this part of the hierarchy in my mountain bike shop, my seven gear bikes, aluminum, and so on.

So this way it’s possible in a flexible way if you have
thousands of items to view on the parts of your hierarchy when you are working with the hierarchy.

And the whole idea, of course, is that this hierarchy could automatically be transferred to your e-commerce shop, your web shops, or even your point of sale solution.

If you have a scroll down functionality where you’re looking for on the, on the past solution, you’re looking for specific items.

This could be like a drill down solution for you.

And thereby it’s easy to overview when you look at it in the backend here.
