Hierarchies define the flow of relationships between attributes in a logical data model. For example, a time hierarchy can consist of the attributes year, month, week, and day.
In Strategy, there are two different types of hierarchies:
- System hierarchies are automatically generated when a project is created and are maintained by the relationships that exist between attributes in the project.
- User hierarchies are groups of attributes and their relationships to each other, arranged in ways that make sense to business users. They are user-defined and do not need to follow the logical data model.
