Eq Area
The Eq Area record specifies, very simply, the name of a
branch in the equipment tree, and its relative precedence over its
sibling branches. If Parent ID is blank, it will appear at
the top level; the convention is to have one top-level branch for
every lab. If Parent ID refers to an area that does not
exist, it will not appear at all. Rank specifies its
rank: lower values appear sooner (more towards the top) in the
equipment tree. Two entries with the same rank are sorted
alphabetically.
