The Unit form administers the organisation structure of the company. Usually, departments and subdivisions (possibly also branch locations) are defined, along with the corresponding employee. These units are used as a basis for the local permission system (see administration guide). Furthermore, they can be used for assigning projects to the organisation units.

Tip: For more on this subject see chapter 3.11.08 Unit Administration.

Note: For these units (analog to the project structure) functional permissions can be defined (see also administration guide).

The form consists of the following elements:

• Unit: This field specifies the unit.
• Top Unit (Highest Unit): The highest unit of the defined unit is automatically displayed here.
• Description: This field describes the unit (location, department, subdivision, …).
• Unit Supervisor: This selection list consists of the supervisor of the unit (usually, the head of the department, or if the units are locations, the supervisor of the location).
• Employee: This selection list consists of all employees of this unit/department. Additionally to the employees, the unit supervisors for the sub-units are also interpreted from the system, as an employee of the unit.
• Superordinate Unit: This selection list consists of all the higher level units (for example main departments or locations).
• Sub-Unit: This selection list consists of all sub level units (for example subdivisions).
• Issue: If an issue is assigned to the unit, it is displayed in here.
• Note: This field is designate for entering comments.
