In VertiGIS FM, hierarchies define superior and subordinate relationships between individual objects of the same kind. For objects to which hierarchical relationships are applicable, like devices, the details page includes a Hierarchy section that documents its relationships to other devices.

The use of hierarchies can vary based on the way your organization structures its assets.

A device's hierarchical relationship to other devices is also reflected in the Hierarchy section on the , which reflects the Type of Metering Point property in the State column. The order of the hierarchy is indicated by the arrow in the leftmost column. A down-arrow means that the device in that row is beneath the device whose details page you're viewing.

You can navigate to the details page of an device in the Hierarchy section by selecting it and clicking the View Details () icon.
