What does each level in a hierarchy represent?

Each level in a hierarchy represents a field in the data model, which is essential for organizing and analyzing data within a structured framework. Hierarchies are used to define relationships among different data elements, allowing for a clearer representation of complex data sets.

For instance, in a sales hierarchy, you might have levels representing organization structures such as regions, countries, states, and cities. Each level encapsulates a specific field that helps in aggregating data appropriately, thus enabling users to filter and drill down into more detailed analyses. By structuring data in this way, it enhances the ability to perform multidimensional analysis, making insights more accessible and comprehensible.

Understanding that levels in hierarchies correlate to fields helps clarify their role in data organization and reporting within systems such as Kinaxis.
