Archibus Extensions for BUILDER™ SMS

View and Edit Organizational Units

Organizational units define the organization within the business to which an asset pertains. An organizational unit can be composed of multiple levels.

Use Assets / Enterprise Assets / Extensions for BUILDER SMS / View and Edit Organizational Units (ab-def-org.axvw) to open the Define Organizational Units view, which presents the Organizational Units (org) table.

In the left pane, drill down through the various levels of an organizational unit and view each level's details in the right pane. For example, the below image shows selecting the fourth-level OPS unit. The right pane shows the details for this level, and the Hierarchy Trace field reports on the four levels of this unit. Each level of the hierarchy is separated with the "|" symbol.

Once you define or edit your organizational units, you can map Archibus sites to organizational units.

Note: For Sybase projects, if the pattern value in the field org.hierarchy_ids exceeds 126 characters, hierarchical trees for organizational units do not display all levels. For example, if values for Organization Code equal 36, organizational trees display only the first four levels of the hierarchy. This limitation affects both View and Edit Organizational Units and Map Sites to Organizational Units.
