6.2 Selection Tree

A Selection Tree is a hierarchical Selection List, and displays selection choices in tree form. This allows the user to select values at multiple levels in the hierarchy. The selections that the user makes in a Selection Tree filter data displayed by Output Components, Data View Components, and other Selection Components. The Selection Tree is especially useful for data that is intrinsically hierarchical, such as cities and states, but it can also be used for independent data.

You can define a Selection Tree by specifying an arbitrary hierarchy among individual columns or by referencing predefined parent-child relationships (recursive hierarchy). See the following sections for details on these two approaches:
