Working with the Supporting Detail Hierarchy
The supporting detail hierarchy should reflect the type of information that supports the cell values and the mathematical operators that create the relationships.
To create or change the supporting detail hierarchy:
- In a form, select the cells with supporting detail.
- Select Edit, and then Supporting Detail.
- Create or change the rows in the hierarchy that provide the detail for the data values by putting the cursor on an item and clicking the options in this table:
Option Result Add Child
Adds an item one level below the selected cell. You can add unlimited children, but consider the potential performance impact.
Add Sibling
Adds an item at the same level as the selected cell. You can add unlimited siblings, but consider the potential performance impact.
Delete
Removes the selected item
Delete All
Simultaneously removes all supporting detail
Promote
Moves the selected item to the next-higher level
Demote
Moves the selected item to the next-lower level
Move Up
Moves the selected item before its sibling predecessor
Move Down
Moves the selected item after its sibling successor
Duplicate Row
Adds a row below the selected item, duplicating its structure (text, operator, and values)
Refresh
Gets the latest stored database values, restoring the previously saved values, and possibly overwriting changes you just made.
- Click Save.
The save operation stores the detail text, values, and aggregate values.
