Tree structure
Create a tree structure to place all objects in the correct location or setup.
The tree structure is used to organize objects. Objects can be placed in the tree structure, and an object may appear multiple times in the tree.
Also, check out this video about the tree structure, among other things.
The tree structure can be built to any depth. The most common setup includes a main folder, followed by departments/locations, then main objects, and sub-objects within them. Of course, deviations from this structure are possible.
The tree structure can be built with folders and objects, which can be placed either inside or below one another.
Within the tree structure, a folder or object can be moved to a different location/level.
By right-clicking on an item in the tree, actions can be performed.
