• This KBA will explain this feature in detail

Location:

The switch is called 'Show labels in a hierarchical structure' and is located in
Admin Center > Reporting and Analytics > Manage Report Center

Default settings:

This switch was introduced on the 4th of July and will be disabled by default.

Caution:

This switch changes the behaviour for all users and not just the one enabling it.

Behaviour Compared:

• If a nested label has reports associated only a few nodes / levels, currently report center displays them in a merged fashion.
• This switch allows displaying such nodes in a hierarchical / structure.

Consider the following scenario for a Label Structure:

LEVEL1
LEVEL2 (nester under LEVEL2)
LEVEL3 (nester under LEVEL3)
LEVEL4 (nester under LEVEL4)

The structure when laid out:
LEVEL1/LEVEL2/LEVEL3/LEVEL4

Example 1:

• Associate an example report - Report4 with LEVEL4 Only
• Before - All Labels till LEVEL4 are displayed in a merged fashion
• After - All Lables till LEVEL4 are displayed in a hierarchial manner, though Levels1 to 3 do not have any reports in them.

Example 2:

• Associate Report4 with LEVEL4 and Report2 with LEVEL2

Example 3:

• Associate Report3 with LEVEL3 Only
  
  

Example 4:

• Associate Report1 with LEVEL1 Only
  
  

Example 5:

• Associate atleast one report each with all the Levels
• No change in behaviour since Report Center will only display the nested labels till the nodes / levels that have reports associated

Functionality that will not be changed by this switch:

• Individual (non-nested) Labels that do not have any reports associated with them will still not be displayed
• Nested labels with reports associated in one or more of the nodes will be displayed only till the levels / nodes that have reports in them (Examples 3 and 4)
• The access levels for Labels (Public vs Private) remain unchanged
• Public and Private labels still cannot be mixed in a hierarchy
