You can assign Reference sets to hierarchy node. The Reference Sets can be assigned at any levels in a hierarchy tree.

To associate reference set:

1. Go to Device Management > Manage Reference Sets > Hierarchy Assignment.
2. Select the hierarchy.
3. Click to edit the reference set assignment.

Select the Reference sets that need to be assigned to the selected Hierarchy node. You can also inherit reference sets from parent hierarchy.

You can assign multiple Reference Sets to a Hierarchy node. You can also define the order in which these Reference Sets need to be evaluated to identify the best qualifying Reference set for each Device.

VHQ evaluates and identifies one Reference Set that best qualifies for each Device. For complete set rules on how VHQ evaluates the best qualifying Reference Set for each Device, refer Automated Downloads.
