Building your Tree Lookup using Children and Parent IDs

To successfully build your tree lookup, you will first have to add in your equipment. You will also need to add in Functional Locations or Areas in which the different pieces of equipment might be located. These Functional Locations and Areas will act as your original Parent IDs and are basically another "piece of equipment' with a type of Location or Area. Some examples being Line 1, Line 2, Buildings and Grounds, etc. All building of the Equipment tree must be done at the Parent level. To add Equipment please see Adding Equipment. Once you have done this follow the steps below to build your tree.
