Tier Structures Overview

Tier Structures are basically key/value pairs in a tier structure. This is extremely useful in real life scenarios.

As an example, think about a company structure. Your boss would be on tier/level 1, you and your colleagues would be on tier/level 2, and the employees under you would on tier/level 3. This would make it easy to discern which employees are at which levels, and it would also provide a very nice way of distinguishing whom works for whom.

In more technical terms, Tier Structures is a module that allows for the creation and management of various lists and key/value pairs in different Tiers that can be used either programmatically or for capture forms. Examples of lists that can be configured are:

• Countries
• Leave Types
• Departments
• Branches

Tier Structures can also be used to store and reference key/value pairs in multiple Tiers . Examples of this include:

• Creating a Keyword profile that holds the connection details for a specific server
• Returning the email address for the Support Desk team of the company you work for
