# Company hierarchy

## Using the hierarchy, you can view the existing organisational structure and add or remove structural elements from the report.

The company hierarchy is displayed in Climate Hub as a **tree structure**. It allows to:

- view the underlying organisational structure of a report
- navigate between individual structural elements
- add or remove structural elements.

You can access the hierarchy via the **“Hierarchy”** tab in the top-level navigation.

---

### **Accessing the hierarchy**

1\. Open a report.

2\. In the top-level navigation, switch to the **"Hierarchy"** tab.

The hierarchy is displayed as a tree structure. At the right end of each row, you can see the **percentage share** of the respective structural element.

2\. A pop-up window will appear; you must **tick the checkbox** and **confirm the deletion**. Once confirmed, **all data associated with this structural element will be deleted**. This action cannot be undone.

**Note:** Changes to the organizational structure only affect the **currently opened CCF report**.  
The organizational structure in the **“Company”** tab and in **other CCF reports** remains unchanged.
