Tiers and subnetwork controller

[FynnScharpen]

Hello guys,

thank you for yesterday's help! We improved a lot after setting up our first four subnetworks. 

But we still have some questions we couldn't solve on our own. 

1. How can we update the tier name and tier rank of devices? They are in a subnetwork (subnetwork name filled) which is part of a tier but the tier name and tier rank remain "Unknown".

2. Our highest ranked tier has one main distributor device that delivers the resource downstream into the 4 subnetwork controllers which act as boundary features between tiers 1 and 2. This means tier 2 has 4 subnetworks. Since we have only one main distributor device and no upstream we cant use it as a subnetwork controller in tier 1 right? Does it have to get any other definition by being the starting point of the UN or is it "just" a member of tier 1.

Thanks in advance.

These are system managed fields and are only populated for subnetwork controllers:

2:  A picture would help.  But will try to answer.  The main distributor device may have no upstream features, but still has an upstream terminal, which allows it to be a controller.  So it can be a controller for your tier 1.
