Configure hierarchies

Select a hierarchy node and move to the exact action you need.

Use Configure hierarchies to open the hierarchy tree and choose the right node action.

When to use this page

Use this page when you already know the target node and need to decide what to do next.

Use it to move from the tree view to a specific task without guessing which action to open.

Before you start

Confirm that you know:

• the node you want to manage
• whether the change is add, edit, or delete
• whether the change affects the current node or a new child node

Open Hierarchies

1

1. Open the hierarchy tree

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

2

2. Select the node

Choose the node that matches the scope of your change.

3

3. Open the available actions

Select Actions and review the node operations.

Choose an action

From the selected node, you can:

• Add a child hierarchy — create a node under the selected parent
• Add a root hierarchy — create a top-level node
• Edit a hierarchy — update the selected node
• Delete a hierarchy — remove the selected node

Pick the right path

Use these rules before you continue:

• choose Add a child hierarchy when the selected node should stay and gain a child
• choose Add a root hierarchy when the new node should not sit under the selected parent
• choose Edit or Delete only after you confirm the selected node is correct

Choose the least disruptive action. Add a child when the existing branch remains valid. Edit only the selected node. Delete only when the node is no longer needed.

Verify the selection

Before you open a task page, confirm:

• the selected node is highlighted in the tree
• the action matches the intended scope
• you are not changing the wrong branch of the hierarchy

Result

You can move from the tree view to the exact hierarchy action with less risk of changing the wrong node. Recheck the tree after every completed action.
