# Contracting Overview - Hierarchies

## Let's dive deeper into the contracting process and how affiliations are related to hierarchies.

### Hierarchies are created via the Affiliations.

You only need to add the lowest level affiliation and let Core do the rest.

Click here to go to the [Affiliation Overview](https://help.techf.com/knowledge/what-is-an-affiliation?hsLang=en).

- **Go to the Hierarchy Tab:**
  
    - Navigate to the agent or agency profile and select the "Hierarchy" tab.
- **Click Add Affiliation:**
  
    - Click the "Add Affiliation" button to add a new affiliation.
- **Select the Lowest Affiliation Level:**
  
    - The system will prompt you to select the lowest affiliation level available. After selecting, Core will automatically build the rest of the hierarchy.
    - The system will only show the lowest level available. For example, if you have an Affiliation with Level 2 as the East Region and Level 3 as NYC, only NYC will be available for selection in the dropdown menu.

- **Add Compensation Hierarchy:**
  
    - Click the $⭐ icon to add the compensation hierarchy.
