Edwards EST3 TXT Files for Hierarchy Mapping

Mapping of the Hierarchical Structure in System Browser

Multiple views of system objects are possible in System Browser depending on the integrated field networks:

Project data is only displayed in Management View and no additional configuration is provided. The information is taken from the Object Name column to create the objects in Management View.
In addition, a logical view or user view can be defined by creating with a text editor the corresponding configuration file (respectively, Hierarchy-Logical.txt or Hierarchy-User.txt).
