Changes to “Expand” if the active member is already collapsed. Hierarchy::Demote to measure Demote the active goal to a measure and demote any measures underneath it to measure categories. Any sub-goals are deleted, but the measures under them are also demoted to measure categories. Any categories under demoted measures are deleted. Hierarchy::Description::Global Weights Display the weight of each object as a fraction of the total overall weight of 1.0 under its name. Hierarchy::Description::ID Number Display the ID number of each object under its name. Hierarchy::Description::Local Weights Display the weight of each object in the utility function (MUF) it belongs to under its name. Hierarchy::Description::No Description Don’t display anything under each object’s name. Hierarchy::Description::Type of Object Display the type of each object in the hierarchy under its name. Hierarchy::Description::Units Display the scale units for each object in the hierarchy under its name.
