You can see some of these terms and parameters labeled in the following screenshot.

  • The hierarchy browser tree component does not permit links in images in node configurations.
  • The identifier field can be any value, but using long strings or large data types could cause performance problems. We recommended using a data type's primary key, if available.

Using the nodeConfigs parameter

  • The variable fv!nodeValue is only available when the node is used in either the nodeConfigs or nextColumnValues parameters of the browser.
  • A hierarchy browser tree node can only be displayed if passed to the nodeConfigs parameter of the hierarchy browser tree.

Examples

For an example of how to configure a hierarchy browser tree node, see the example in the Tree Browser Component page.
