Tree charts represent hierarchy in a tree-like structure. The structure of a Tree chart
consists of a root node (has no parent node), line connections (named branches), and leaf nodes
(have no child nodes). Line connections represent the relationships and connections between the
members.

icon.
The canvas updates to display a Tree chart template.

- Value
- This field displays when a Summary function that requires a value variable, is selected. Select a variable to serve as the basis for the summary value.
