I’m working on a payroll app for construction contractors. I’m trying to show hierarchy in a table for one contractor (In this case, “Vandelay Industries”. I want the user to be able to see where Vandelay is in the hierarchy, (i.e. they are a Subcontractor) and who’s above them in the hierarchy, who’s at the same level, and who’s below. I’d like to show 4 or 5 levels of hierarchy, but I feel the solution I’ve sketched out is too clunky. The example above has too much text in the Hierarchy Column heading. The second solution, where I literally write their hierarchy level after each entry seems better but still not great:
Any suggestions?
