# Hierarchy

This section provides an overview of how to edit and manipulate hierarchies on the Merchant Administration page. A hierarchy structure allows the building or mapping of the business structure within Verifone Commander Central. Hierarchies should be set up before adding sites to Verifone\
Commander Central. This allows more effective use of the Bulk Site Upload feature.

### **View Hierarchy**

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
**Logging in**

{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Hierarchy form**

Click on **Administration > Site Management > Hierarchy**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Search for Sites**

Use the Search bar to search for the name or use the collapsible menu below the search bar.

### **Edit Hierarchy**

{% hint style="info" %}
If a new Merchant Administrator has not set up any hierarchy for the account, the display page will show the company name with any sub-entries all in one group.
{% endhint %}

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
**Edit Hierarchy button**

Hierarchies can be edited by selected the Edit Hierarchy button in the top right corner of the Hierarchy window.
