Hierarchical names

Understand hierarchical file names

The hierarchical name includes the folder path and the name of the file. Folders are separated by two backslashes (\\).

For example, if your Files folder contains the file Interview with scientist, then the full hierarchical name for the file is 'Files\\Interview with scientist'.

You can check the folder location of a file in the properties dialog—click Get Info in the Item group on the Home tab.

Understand hierarchical code names

The hierarchical name includes the folder path, the hierarchical structure and the name of the code. Folders are separated by two backslashes (\\) and codes are separated by a single backslash (\).

For example, if your Nodes folder contains a parent node Economy with a child node Tourism, then the full hierarchical name for the child node is 'Nodes\\Economy\Tourism'.

You can check the hierarchical name of a node item in the properties dialog—click Get Info in the Item group on the Home tab.

Understand hierarchical case names

The hierarchical name includes the folder path, the hierarchical structure and the name of the code or case. Folders are separated by two backslashes (\\) and codes are separated by a single backslash (\).

For example, if your Cases folder contains a 'People' subfolder and a parent case 'Interview Participants' with a child case 'Betty', then the full hierarchical name for the case is 'Cases\\People\\Interview Participants\Betty'.

You can check the hierarchical name of a node item in the properties dialog—click Get Info in the Item group on the Home tab.
