2 Expand the hierarchy by clicking the plus sign (+) to the left of the hierarchy name.
The first-level entities in the hierarchy are displayed. You can view all the entities in the hierarchy by

3 Right-click the entity to which you want to add a vCenter Server entity and select New vCenter Server
Entity from the pop-up menu.

hierarchy.

The filtering and hierarchy view options are displayed.
6 (Optional) Select the required filtering and hierarchy view options.
The default is No highlighting and the Hosts & Clusters view. The view type selected must be same as
the view type used to add the existing vCenter Server entities in the chargeback hierarchy. The entities in
the selected vCenter Server hierarchy will be highlighted only if the view type for the hierarchy of the
selected vCenter Server and the vCenter Chargeback Manager hierarchy are same and one of the
highlighting options is selected.
7 Expand the vCenter Server hierarchy and select the entity that you want to add to the chargeback
hierarchy.
The number of vCenter Server entities selected is displayed next to the cursor indicating that the entity is
selected and available for adding to the chargeback hierarchy. You can also select multiple entities and
add them at the same time. To select multiple entities, press the Ctrl key and click the required vCenter
Server entities.
If you add a vCenter Server entity to a chargeback hierarchy, you cannot separately add its parent entity
or any of its child entities to the same chargeback hierarchy.
8 Select the vCenter Chargeback Manager entity to which you want to add this vCenter Server entity.
The selected vCenter Server entities are added to the chargeback hierarchy.
After a vCenter Server entity is added to a chargeback hierarchy, you cannot delete any of its child entities
from the chargeback hierarchy without deleting this added entity.
What to do next
You can undo an add operation by right-clicking the newly added entity and selecting the Revert this add
operation option. However, this option is not available on the entity if any further changes are made to the
entity or to the chargeback hierarchy. If you add multiple entities at the same time, you can revert the add
operation for only one of the entities. To revert the add operation for an entity, right-click the required entity
and select Revert this add operation.
Rename a Chargeback Hierarchy or a Chargeback Entity
You can edit the names of chargeback hierarchies and the vCenter Chargeback Manager entities in them.
To perform this task, you must have update privilege on the hierarchy and the chargeback hierarchical entity.
