Searching for a Hierarchy

Use the hierarchy search feature to locate a hierarchy by ID or description. The search feature is particularly useful if your organization has a large hierarchy tree. Instead of manually “drilling down” through the hierarchy tree, you can locate and select the exact hierarchy you need.

Note:The hierarchy search features discussed in this topic are available from many areas within PaymentNet where you are required to enter a hierarchy ID.

To search for a hierarchy:

  1. Select Administration > Hierarchy > Manage.

  2. To locate a hierarchy by its description, select Hierarchy Description from the Search list and enter the description in the for field. An example may include the name of a specific cost center or department in your organization.

    To locate a hierarchy by its ID, select Hierarchy ID from the Search list and enter the ID in the for field. An example may include a number that represents a specific cost center or department in your organization.

  3. Click Search.

  4. If multiple hierarchies match the search criteria, select the hierarchy you need to work with.
