If Hierarchy Manager (HM) is configured for an ORS, you can configure an IDD application to work with this configuration.
Configure the IDD application according to the following rules:
Any HM entity that an IDD application uses must be configured as a subject area in the IDD Configuration Manager. HM is used to model the relationships between subject areas.
An IDD application operates against a single HM configuration (profile/sandbox combination). IDD uses the SAM access control configuration, rather than different HM configurations, to manage user access control. The HM configuration used by an IDD application must include all HM entity and relationship types to be used in the IDD application.
