Add a child hierarchy

Add a new hierarchy node under an existing parent.

Use Extend Node to add a child hierarchy under an existing node.

Before you start

Prepare:

• the correct parent node
• the new hierarchy Name
• the new hierarchy Entity Type

Confirm that the new node belongs under the selected parent and not at the root level.

Use a child node when it inherits the selected branch's operational scope. Use a root node when it needs an independent top-level branch.

Add a child hierarchy

1

1. Open Hierarchies

Go to Verifone Central → Device Management → Hierarchy/Group Management → Hierarchies.

2

2. Select the parent node

Choose the node that should own the new child hierarchy.

3

3. Open the child node action

Select Actions → Update Hierarchy → Extend Node.

4

4. Enter the new hierarchy details

Enter the required values for the child node, then review the parent before you save.

5

5. Save the node

Save the new hierarchy.

Required values

New child hierarchies require at least:

• Name
• Entity Type

Use values that clearly identify the node in the tree.

Verify the result

After you save, confirm that:

• the new node appears under the intended parent
• the node name is correct in the tree
• the node is available for later user or device assignment

Do not assign users or move devices until the node appears in the expected branch.

Common checks

If the result is not correct, check these first:

• the wrong parent was selected before you opened Extend Node
• the new node should have been created as a root hierarchy instead
• a required field was left blank

Result

The new hierarchy is added under the selected parent node and is ready for later assignment work.

Next steps

• Edit a hierarchy — refine the new node details
• Hierarchy - user management — manage access at the new node
