The Plant Group Types root contains the building blocks that make up plant structures. Formerly known as hierarchy items, you use these plant group types to construct hierarchy templates that are in turn used to create your plant structures. The plant group types are stored in the site schema.
Eight plant group types are delivered by default and are displayed in the Plant Group Types root in the Tree view. When this root is selected, the list of all plant group types is displayed in the List view, along with an additional column indicating which plant group types are currently being used by a hierarchy template.
Site administrators can add new or modify existing plant group types. New plant group types are added to the data dictionary for the site and are available for use in editing hierarchy templates. You can view the attributes associated with a plant group type by using the Properties command.
