Element hierarchy
There are two element types in Planon ProCenter:
Hierarchical elements
Simple elements
Hierarchical elements are divided into sub elements.
For example, Department.
A simple element cannot be subdivided.
For example, Person.
The hierarchical elements in the elements list can be collapsed or expanded. The symbol in front of a hierarchical element’s name indicates the presence of sub-elements.
It is possible that sub elements inherit values from the parent element. The inherited data will overwrite all data that would be automatically specified as a result of selections made on previous selection levels.
