Editing hierarchy

This section provides an overview of editing hierarchies in VHQ.

Use this when you need to change a device's hierarchy assignment, configure hierarchy entity settings, or understand select-all behavior on the hierarchy assignment screen.

Devices are managed in the hierarchy. You can change a device's hierarchy by editing the hierarchy in Device Profile.
