Frequently asked questions about hierarchical lists
What exactly are hierarchical lists?
Hierarchical lists in Prostream are structured data lists that make complex classifications, such as building standards (e.g. NL SfB), simple and clear. These lists consist of different layers or levels that organize items, so that you can easily navigate through large data sets.
You can upload hierarchical lists directly from an Excel file or manually build and edit them within Prostream. In addition, they can be added to forms and used as filters in searches, so that you can search more specifically and always quickly find the right information that meets your specific project requirements.
How do I place annotations and signatures?
Hierarchical lists in Prostream work by organizing large data structures into layers, helping you navigate complex classifications quickly and clearly. You can add a hierarchical list in two ways: by uploading an existing list from Excel or by creating one manually. When uploading from Excel, you can easily set each level of the hierarchy via columns, which are then automatically converted into a structured list.
Within Prostream, you can flexibly customize the hierarchical list: add items, move them, and organize them into different hierarchical levels by dragging or using buttons. These lists can be linked to forms, so that project teams can easily select specific information. In addition, hierarchical fields help you search and filter for specific items more efficiently, so that you always have quick access to the most relevant documents and data within your projects.
