Understanding Field Hierarchy

This feature allows you to link a parent field to a child field so that any modifications of the parent field will change the options that are available to the child field.

Field relationships can be created with the use of the Hierarchy feature on Admin -> Hierarchical Fields page.

After a hierarchy is created, the relationship is then defined in a table of checkboxes for each possible option. Each checkbox matches a parent option with a possible child option. When the box is checked, the child field will be available as an option if the parent field matches.

Notes:

• This feature requires that javascript is enabled by each user.
• If a field is deleted, the hierarchy must be deleted manually.
