Add

The Add function inserts one item or snippet to the tree. Before an item or snippet is added, an item in the tree is chosen and selected as the site of the addition. Such an item is called an add situs.

Snippets are discussed in detail under Snippets Topic.

Relation Enhancers

A set of relation enhancers govern the relationship of the new item to the situs after the addition. There are three:

Add as Parent

The new item becomes the parent node of the situs;

Add as Sibling

The new item becomes the sibling of the situs, or they share the same parent item or node; and

Add as Child

the new item becomes the child item of the situs.

Position Enhancers

Another set of position enhancers govern the position of the new item with respect to its sibling items after the addition. All in all there are five, including the two which are available to the new item if it is also a sibling of the situs. The new item is added as:

Insert First

The first item;

Insert Previous

Before the situs;

Insert Sorted

Its proper position in the sort order.

The sorting process is automatically invoked if the siblings are not yet sorted. The direction of sort depends upon the setting found in the parent node; either ascending or descending. By default, it is ascending.

Insert Next

After the situs; and

Insert Last

The last item;
