Dynamic HGrid: add node

Question

Hello,
We have some metadata, stored in database tables, populated using SQL and which
does not change at runtime. This metadata captures a hierarchical structure.
There is only one level in the hierarchy.
X
- X1
- X2
- X3
Y
- Y1
- Y2
Z
- Z1
- Z1
Now there is a seeded entity to which we want to attach part of this hierarchy or in other words one or more child nodes of above metadata.
We will capture this in custom table(s).
Say to Entity E1,
- you add X->X1, X->X2, X->X3 (all children of X), Y->Y2 and Z->Z1.
- remove/delete child X->X2
- add child Z->Z2
Dev guide says
Consider using a HGrid instead of a Tree when you want your users to either:
Manipulate the objects in the hierarchy (add, delete, move, reorder, etc.). Note that in certain cases, you may want your users to
navigate from a Tree to a HGrid to perform these actions. This is done by providing a button that switches to an "update" or "edit" mode,
which displays a HGrid instead of a Tree. But there is no sample (code and ui interaction) for adding new node to HGrid.
So I have 2 questions.
1. To capture this kind of interaction, is HGrid right UI element?
2. If YES, is there a sample showing adding a node to the HGrid?

Hi Nalini,
If I understood correctly, you want to trigger mail from IT0019. Am I right?
If so, then create notification content inTcode SO10 which will contain all the information from IT0019.
Then create distribution list (DL) via Tcode SBWP and assign user ID and mail ID to whom mail should trigger. Then user ID need to maintain in T526 table
Then create feature which is copied from M0001 and you need to assign your text and DL
Then call custom feature in dynamic action under IT0019. Then mail will trigger from It0019 creation or change.
If my understanding is wrong, let me know.
