- ICA-AtoM includes a Level of description field with a drop-down list for selecting values.
- Value list can be customized by the system administrator to include only levels employed by the institution. The values in this list themselves reside in a separate database table (Term).
- ICA-AtoM links the current description with others in the hierarchy of arrangement throught the Parent level field in which the user selects the "parent" description (left blank if the description represents the highest level).
