If you want to know how to insert hierarchy nodes WITH the Analysis Assistant, see Analyze a Job Position.
To insert a new hierarchy component:
1.Highlight the node in the hierarchy you want to insert something under or next to.
2.From the Workbench Toolbar click one of the following buttons: Insert As Child, Insert As Sibling Above or Insert As Sibling Below.
a.Alternatively, from the Main Menu or right-click menu, click Node 
Insert then one of the previous options. See the Example for more details.
3.If you selected the "Insert As Child" command and you are inserting the first child, a window will appear asking you to pick the level name for the child you are inserting. Highlight the desired level name and click the OK button.
4.Type the new component in the text field that will be displayed.
5.Click the OK button. When you are finished, you can resolve any spelling problems by using Spell Check.
Tips for Inserting New Components
To understand how VISION defines components, the following terms are important:
•Parent: The component (or node) that is the immediate superior of the subject node, in a hierarchical sense. Every hierarchy node has a parent, except the root node. •Insert As Child: The node will be inserted as a subordinate, or one level below the subject node. •Insert As Sibling Above: The node will be inserted on the same level as the subject node. The new node will be placed directly above the subject. •Insert As Sibling Below: The node will be inserted on the same level as the subject node. The new node will be listed directly below the subject node. |
For placement of the components
•Inserting a component "As Child" means it will be inserted as a subordinate, or one level below the subject. •Inserting a component "As Sibling Above" means it will be inserted on the same level as the subject. With respect to its placement within that level, the new component will be listed directly above the subject. •Inserting a component "As Sibling Below" also means it will be inserted on the same level as the subject. With respect to its placement within that level, the new component will be listed directly below the subject. See Insert for more information about adding nodes.

By default, auto spell checking is turned on. Auto spell checking will automatically check spelling when you edit any multi-line text box in a Properties workscreen. The spell check occurs when you exit that text box or click OK. If you prefer, you can turn auto spell checking off at any time, by doing the following:
1.From the Main Menu, select Setup Preferences. 2.Uncheck the "Auto spell check text fields" check box. 3.Press OK. To manually spell check any field, press the <F7> key once you are done entering text in the field.

Look at this example hierarchy:
1.0. Perform a pre-start check
1.1. Check instruments
1.1.1. Check hydraulics
1.1.2. Check electrical
1.2. Check pump pressures
1.2.1. Check priming pump
1.2.2. Check feed pump
The hierarchy component; 1.1. Check instruments, is a "child" of 1.0. Perform a pre-start check. Can you see that?
The hierarchy component; 1.2. Check pump pressures, is also a child, in this case the "last child" of the same parent component. Still OK?
On the other hand, the hierarchy component; 1.1. Check instruments, and 1.2. Check pump pressures, are "siblings" with respect to each other, since they occupy the same level under their parent.
Let's say you want to insert a new component as 1.1.3. under Check instruments. To do that, you could highlight the parent 1.1. Check instruments, and then click "As Child" from the Insert New Node pop-up screen.
Now for the real test… There is another way you could do the same thing. Can you think of what it would be?

As an alternative, you could highlight the component, 1.1.2. Check electrical, and select "As sibling below". The result would be the same either way.
If you figured it out, you won't have any trouble whatsoever with the concepts of hierarchy, child, sibling and how they are placed!
