Using parent and child elements in hierarchies

You can move a selected element by drag and drop to a new parent element in the same or another hierarchy structure in the work space of a dimension.

Use this method to achieve that child elements are assigned to multiple parent elements:

  • To assign an element to a new parent element in the same hierarchy structure, right-click the element in the work space and select Add Parent from the menu. In the Select Element dialog, select the additional parent element from the same hierarchy and click OK. The same element is created under the new parent element in the same hierarchy structure.
  • To create two elements with the same name in different hierarchies, right-click the element from a hierarchy structure in the work space and select Add Parent from the menu. In the Select Element dialog, select the new parent element from the second hierarchy and click OK. The same element is created in the second hierarchy structure.
