    Article summary

    This option is used to modify and edit the recently created Hierarchy. 

    Note:
    • Rollup Node functions are different from Leaf Node functions. Leaf Node is the last level in a hierarchy and data can be loaded to leaf nodes. The data loaded to the leaf is rolled up to the leaf node's rollup member.
    • The following special characters are restricted from use in the Leaf Code of a segment leaf member when creating segment hierarchy data or loading it to Planful: ‘ " ` ! @ # $ ^ * ( ) + = [ ] { } \ | ; : < > , ? All other special characters documented in the Getting Started guide are supported.
