# Unified Hierarchy View

SupportIn IMS locations are organized in Site – Plant – Unit – Functional Location (FLOC). These are the highest hierarchy levels in IMS. If the Unified Hierarchy view feature is enabled in Settings, the Hierarchy is shown in a unified way across on the FLOC and Equipment Details Pages across disciplines.

Note: Only users with the appropriate User Role will be able to enable or disable this feature.

## Enabling the Unified Hierarchy View

Your CSA can enable the Unified Hierarchy View. For this you can [contact Cenosco Support](/v414/docs/requestingsupport) if required.

To enable the Unified Hierarchy view:

- Navigate to Settings \ Maintenance \ Configuration \ Application Settings.
- In the search bar in the upper right corner, search for “Enable Unified Hierarchy View”.
- Click the blue *Edit* button.
- In the B value field, enter “1”.

- Click **Save**.

## Unified Hierarchy View on the FLOC & Equipment Details Page

If the Unified Hierarchy View is enable, the header of the Hierarchy sections on the FLOC and Equipment Details page contain respectively:

- A **+ Equipment** button which allows you to add a piece of Equipment.
- A **+ Circuit** button which allows you to add a Circuit but only if the Role you have on the site has the rights to create Circuits.

The Hierarhy section contains a grid with the following columns:

| Column name | Description |
| --- | --- |
| Active | Indicates if the Equipment is active or not. |
| Name | The ID of the FLOC or Equipment. |
| Type | Object type. |
| IMS FLOC Level | FLOC Levels. |
| Installed date | The date when the FLOC/Equipment was installed. |
| Nr of CMLs | Number of Condition Monitoring Locations created on the Equipment \ FLOC. |
| Nr of Measurement Sets | Number of Measurement sets created on the Equipment \ FLOC. |

The Hierarchy shown will include the following Hierarchy levels:

- Site (1)
- Plant (2)
- Unit (3).
- Floc (all levels >= 4, including sub-FLOCs used in RCM Hierarchy).
- Equipment.
- Component.

The objects in the Hierarchy section grid are structured with indentation to clearly show their hierarchical relationship. The current Equipment or FLOC Name is always bolded in the grid.
