What does hierarchy order do?
The "Hierarchy Order" sets the priority for final decision-making when multiple team members are working on the same project.
This feature is useful in determining whose decision will be considered final in case of (Exclude-Exclude) decision conflicts.
If two team members exclude the same article but choose different reasons, the final decision recorded against the article will be based on the reason selected by the team member with the higher hierarchy order. However, for transparency and record-keeping purposes, the data file downloaded at the end of the screening process will still display the reasons selected by all team members.
