## Displaying Child Accounts for an Account Hierarchy

Account hierarchies provide a visual representation of associated accounts. For organizations recording interactions and account information against child accounts instead of person accounts, users can view child accounts in the Account Hierarchy.

The Account Hierarchy action is available for all Vaults.

When a user visits a hospital and wants to see all of the child accounts to identify which HCPs to visit, they can select the View Hierarchy action to view the associated child accounts.
