With the Settings > Binary Placement Preferences widget, the associate can decide where to place each new member in their Binary Tree. Whenever a new member is enrolled under an existing member, they will be placed in the selected Leg automatically.

There are five options available for placement:

• FirstEmpty - Places the Associate on the first available location.
• Strong - Places the Associate on the Leg with the most primary volume.
• Weak - Places the Associate on the Leg with the least primary volume.
• Left - Places the Associate on the next available spot on the Left Leg.
• Right - Places the Associate on the next available spot on the Right Leg.
