Asset Hierarchy Trees (or, Asset Trees) group assets based on their source module and relationship. This type of Plug-in can be applied to the Plants, Site, Building, and Equipment inventories, and it is often based on a filter.
Asset Trees display a list of records for the selected module. When a user expands a record in a tree, the system displays the children records related to that record. Clicking on any level of the tree opens the related module to the set of selected records.
