A node category indicates the position and role of a node within a hierarchy. It can be a system- or user-generated, internal node reference.

Node categories are as follows:

• Root Group (R)— A root group represents the root node of an individual, actual hierarchy.
• Sub Group (S)— A subgroup is subordinate to a root group, but it is not a leaf node.
• Leaf Node (L) — A leaf node is the lowest-level node in hierarchy. It usually corresponds to a facility. It is a data-producing node.
• Admin Node (Z) — An admin node serves a particular organizational purpose within a hierarchy, but is not itself a data-producing node.

For more information, see Node Category, Type, and Attribute Identifier.

A node type is a description of an individual node. It can be a system- or user-generated, internal node reference.

Node types are as follows:

• Generic (~G)
• Summary (~U)
• Facility (~F)
• Device (~D)
• Point (~P)
• Web Root (~W)
• Navigation Root (~V)
• Component Def. Head (~L)
• Component Def. (~B)
• Fac Type Def. Head (~T)
• Fac Type Def (~C)
• Attribute Def. Head (~J)
• Attribute Def. (~A)
• Hierarchy Def. Head (~K)
• Hierarchy Def. (~H)
• Report Def. Head (~Q)
• Report Def. (~R)
• Storage (~S)

Select to make this node visible in the GRP.

Free-form text box used to define the node.

Select to indicates whether auxiliary information exists for this node. You can access the auxiliary data on the Auxiliary Info page for this node.

Defines the site for a reference entity associated with a node.

Defines the reference service for a reference entity associated with a node. Typically a UIS. For instance, if the node references a remote device facility, the Service is a UIS.

Defines the reference Type for a reference entity associated with a node. Select the appropriate option from the Type drop-down menu.

Reference types are as follows:

• None (~)
• Facility-DDS (F)
• Facility-CVS (E)
• Device (D)
• Point (P)
• Node Type (N)
• Node Ref (R)
• Service (S)
• Info (I)

Defines the ID of the item referenced by a reference entity. Available selections depend upon the Type chosen.

Click to update the reference entity information after you've made reference entity settings changes.

List of all standard attributes for the node. Attributes depend on settings made in the Reference CygNet Entity - [Type] area.

A parent in a parent - child hierarchy is a superior entity. For example, a view is a parent of a level.

This table lists the parent(s) for the selected node. Double-click a parent to change the properties of the property sheet to those of the parent.

Command options for this field are as follows:

• If active, enables you to add a child.
• If active, enables you to remove a child.
• If active, opens the selected child node's General record.

A child in a parent - child hierarchy is an inferior entity. For example, a level is a child of a view.

This table lists the child(ren) for the selected node. Double-click a child to change the properties of the property sheet to those of the child.

Command options for this field are as follows:

• If active, enables you to add a child.
• If active, enables you to remove a child.
• If active, opens the selected child node's General record.

Security application for the selected node.

Security event for the selected node.

Check to accept the default security for the selected node.
