Creating a division
Define the second-level element of your organization by creating a division.
- In the header of Dev Studio, click .
- In the Organization Name field, specify the name of an existing organization data instance, a key to an Organization instance.
-
In the
Division Name
field, enter the name of this division, for
example, Finance. Begin the name with a letter and use only letters, numbers, the
ampersand character, and hyphens. Division identifiers are limited to 32 characters.
As a best practice, limit the division name to no more than eight characters in length. When you use App Studio, the division name becomes one segment of several class names.
- Click Create and open.
- Optional: Identify an access group to be available to users in this organization. As a user or
other requestor belonging to this division signs on, the system adds the RuleSets and
versions in the application rules of that access group to the user's RuleSet list.
-
In the
Defined by
list, select
an Application-based Access Group.The selectionan Explicit RuleSet listremains available for Division data instances created in Version 4 systems. However, this approach is deprecated for new development. - In the Access Group Name field, identify one or more access groups that contains one or more access roles. Mark one access group as the initial default by selecting a radio button. In specific, unusual situations, this access group is used at sign-on, for operator IDs where no access group is present on the Access tab. (This can occur only for operators created in version 6.1SP1 or earlier.)
-
In the
Defined by
list, select
- Optional: Determine to whom an assignment is routed or an email is addressed.
- In the Cost Center field, enter the cost center for the division. This field is not referenced by any standard rules but appears in the organization chart.
- In the Cost Center Manager field, enter the operator ID of a user of the application who can receive assignments or email. This field is not referenced by standard rules but appears in the organization chart.
- Click Save.
