You can use either the locked or unlocked version of HyperArchy to build your own database.
Think of the levels of the hierarchy that you want to use, and name them. In the section of this manual entitled "About Hierarchical Database" the example database, for invoice storage and generation, used levels that were named
"Clients", "Jobs", and "Expenses". Each level will have a stack by that name. You start your database by setting up those stacks. Here's how...
Step 1:
Use Finder to create one copy of the HyperArchy stack for each level in your database hierarchy. Give each stack a name, according to the levels in your database (Clients, Jobs, Expenses, etc.)
