Once you have done this, the same screen as shown in figure 1 will open up but with an additional tab of Field Hierarchy as shown below:
Figure 1: Field Hierarchy Tab
As you can see from the above figure that apart from the Field Hierarchy tab, all of the other tabs are the same as explained in the Common View Settings except for the General tab which now contains some additional information that you need to enter as shown below:
Figure 2: General tab containing additional fields
In this tab, the above group box is the same as that in the common view settings. There is a new group box at the bottom, which is specific for each view. In this group box, you can enter the title, description and file name of the view. Note that File Name is a must in this case. If you don't specify a file name, view cannot be saved. Title and Description are optional but it is always a good idea to enter some descriptive sentence so that later on you can identify the functionality of this view.
When a new view is opened for creation, the first five tabs will show the settings that you saved in the Common View Settings (global Filters). You can override these settings by defining new settings for the view that you are currently creating.
The Field Hierarchy tab allows you to define Levels of Hierarchies that you want to see in the Tree view. Double clicking on any of the fields from the above list will bring that field in the lower list as the level 1 field. You can also add a field to Selected Fields list by clicking on the "Add" button after selecting that field from the above list. If you add another field to the Selected Fields list box, it will be added as the level 2 field and so on. After adding a field to Selected Fields list box, if you want to change the level of a specific field, simply select that field and use the up or down arrow on the right side to increment or decrement its field level respectively.
In order to change the maximum nodes or the sort order associated with a specific field level, double click that field in the selected fields list view. A dialog box will open up where you can enter this information. You can sort based on four different things:
| 1.) | Ascending on field values
|
| 2.) | Descending on field values
|
| 3.) | Ascending on volume
|
| 4.) | Descending on volume
|
The ascending and descending on volume can be used when you are interested to see the events that have occurred very seldom or very frequent respectively.
