division

A division is an instance of the Data-Admin-OrgDivision class and is the middle level of the three-level organizational hierarchy available in all applications. Divisions are below the organization level (Data-Admin-Organization class) and above the organization unit level (Data-Admin-OrgUnit class).

Divisions are referenced in Organization Units and in Operator ID instances.

The organizational structure affects:

• Management reporting and statistics
• Each user's RuleSet list assembled during log in

Select Designer Studio> Organization And Security > Organization > Organization Chart to display a hierarchy of organizations, divisions, and organization units in your system.

Divisions are presented at the first indented level. In this example, Administration is a division.

The chart includes a text description of the division, 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 a division and create a new one belonging to the same organization)
• Add children nodes (for example, select a division and create an organization unit reporting to it)
• 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.
