This element specifies the Node ID of the parent node. If this is a top level node with no parent then a value of root must be specified (see node A in the example below).
The tree structure is built by creating parent child relationships between this element and the Node ID element.
So for example if you have 4 nodes, A, B ,C and D of which B, C, D are sub nodes of A then the NodeID and Parent ID of the four nodes would look like this,
A|root|...
B|A|...
C|A|...
D|A|...
Using this method the tree menu is able to handle an unlimited number of sub-levels.
This field is mandatory and must have a value of at least one character.
