Hi Sunil,

It is possible to perform all the operations you have mentioned.

1. Search Hierarchy

You can perform the searching based on the Hierarchy Field for this you need to create the MDM Search Hierarchies iView. No need to set any properties. But it will only display the nodes of hierarchies that has been used in the main table records.

2. Display Hierarchy

You can create an Item Details iView and add the Hierarchy field into it. To display the entire hierarchy set the field type as popup. If you set its property to Lookup then it will just create the plain lookup table and you cannot identify the parent-child nodes

3. Allow Hierarhy to be Updated

Create an Item Detail iView on Hierarchy table instead of Main table. Initially you will get the options like Add to Root Node, Edit, Save, Duplicate. Once you create an element at the root node next time you wont get the option Add to Root Node instead you will get Add Child and everytime it will create the child node for the parent appearing in the field. To add the node at the same level first Duplicate the node by clicking on Duplicate option and then Edit that node. By Duplicating it wil create the node at the same level.

Hope it helps you.
