Organization unit

An organization unit is an instance of the Data-Admin-OrgUnit class. Organization units form the bottom level of a standard three-level organizational hierarchy available in every PRPC application. The middle level consists of divisions (instances of the class Data-Admin-OrgDivision) and the top level is the Organization level (Data-Admin-Organization class).

The organizational structure affects:

• Management reporting and statistics visible from the Monitor Activity workspace
• Users' RuleSet list, assembled as they log in

Select> Organization And Security > Organization > Organizational Chart to see the organizations in your system. Expand any organization and division to see the units.

Click a plus sign to expand any node. Organization units are presented at the second indented level (Technical in this example). Organization units can have child nodes, which represent reporting relationships (and are not used in rule processing). These units indent further at each reporting level.

The chart includes a text description of the unit, and the cost center and manager associated with the instance (if this information exists in its respective rule form). By right-clicking a node, you can use a pop-up panel to:

• Add nodes at the peer level (for example, select an organization unit and create a new one reporting to the same division)
• Add children nodes (for example, select an organization unit and create a new one that reports to another unit)
• Add operators to organizations, divisions, or organization units
• Open an organization, division, or organization unit rule form
• View a list of operators associated with each node

The chart is also available on the Chart tab of the Organization, Division, and Organization Unit forms. For more information, see the Organization Chart tab in the Organization & Security category — Organization page.
