  Key Concepts: 
  External hierarchy is a feature of SAP DWC-MD Data Warehouse Cloud - Modeling (Data Builder) that allows users to create hierarchies of data outside of the system. This feature allows users to create hierarchies that are not limited by the system's internal structure and can be used to organize data in a more meaningful way. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use external hierarchy, users must first create a hierarchy in the system. This can be done by selecting the “Create Hierarchy” option from the Data Builder menu. Once the hierarchy is created, users can then add data to it by selecting the “Add Data” option from the same menu. The data can then be organized into the hierarchy according to the user's preference. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating an external hierarchy, it is important to consider how the data will be used and how it will be organized. This will help ensure that the hierarchy is easy to use and understand. Additionally, it is important to keep in mind that external hierarchies are not limited by the system's internal structure, so users should take advantage of this flexibility when creating their hierarchies.
