About Ad Hoc Hierarchies

An Ad Hoc hierarchy is a hierarchy that you build from scratch inside the platform, without relying on pre-set metadata.

Warning: While this option may seem easier, we recommend that you read up on Parent-Child hierarchies and Level-Based hierarchies to determine if either of those options better fit your organization’s structure. Check out a basic comparison of your options on the Hierarchies Basic Overview page.
