Hierarchical relationships connect two business entity records in a hierarchy. When you need to represent relationships in a tree-like structure, use hierarchical relationships. You can relate records that belong to the same or different business entities.
For example, the Informatica record is the parent of the John Smith record. You can view these relationships in a hierarchy or a relationship graph.
