Update the Parenting Rules Associated with an Object Type

When you create a new object type in PowerSteering you identify how that item will be parented as part of the object type properties. Those parenting rules create a hierarchy, or parent / child relationship, and govern how objects can be organized within the Work Tree.

Note: The Object Types page is used as a reference for administrators. For object type change requests, please contact your PowerSteering Customer Success Manager.
