Hierarchy Tree

A tree structure is a hierarchical way to organize and visualize data, resembling an upside-down tree with a root node at the top and branches extending downwards.

Common Tree Structure in SimplifyQA

  • File System: Represents files and directories in a hierarchical manner.

    Ex: Scenarios

  • Organisational Chart: Depicts the hierarchy of requirements within a project.

    Ex: Requirement Management

  • Category and Subcategory: Organises artefacts into categories and subcategories.

    Ex: Modules and Sub-modules

Interacting with Trees

  • Expanding and Collapsing: Open or close branches to reveal or hide child nodes on click of expand and collapse icon in each node in tree.

  • Searching: Find specific nodes within the tree using search functionality by providing the desired search keyword.

To get more accurate result and find the specific nodes, enable the node in which you want the system to search as shown below.

For Example, in requirement management - root node would be Epic and child would be Feature and feature would have user story. If you want to only get the search result for user story, enable user story toggle in the 'Search By' field and the search keyword provided by you would be applicable only for the specified node.

  • Selecting Nodes: Choose individual nodes for various actions. On right click on the selected node you will be getting more options for editing, adding/creating child node, delete, drag & drop and more.

  • Dragging and Dropping: Rearrange nodes within the tree structure. Identify the nodes which you want to move. You can either select individual nodes or multiple nodes (using SHIFT and CTRL keys) and drop it to the valid destination node.
