You place nodes on the tree using two values: the name of the node, and the name of the node's parent. This is the only relationship that matters when you're building your spreadsheet. For example, you can place the Labrador node by knowing only with "Labrador" (it's name) and "Dog" (it's parent). Remember, any node on the tree can be a parent. A branch is a connection between two nodes. For example, there are two branches that extend from "Cat," and three that extend from "Pet."
Each row in the Organization Chart spreadsheet represents a node on the tree.

For the sample tree above, the spreadsheet might look like this:
