OpenSpending doesn't know about hierarchies per se. The links in the
UK CRA dataset are set in the "Views" config, and I've added a
configuration similar to that to your dataset. Unfortunately, this
requires the dimensions to be "Compound Dimensions" (or just
"Dimensions" in the UI). So you need to drop your data and change the
model to make entity, program and concept into compound dimensions.

Let me know if that helps,
