Creating an Organizational Unit

You can add an Organizational Unit from the Project Navigator.

To add an organizational unit:
  1. Expand Organization () in the Project Navigator. Organization will expand to show Organizational Units, Roles, Groups, Participants, Holidays, Calendars, and Business Parameters.
  2. If possible, expand Organizational Units (). Any existing organizational units will be listed. If you cannot expand, there are no organizational units present.
  3. Right-click on either Organizational Units or on an existing organizational unit, and select New from the context menu. The Name dialog box will appear.
  4. Input the name of the organizational unit and click OK to add it to the node where you obtained the context menu. the new organizational unit is either created under the root organization node in the tree (if you right-clicked on Organizational Units) or under the organizational unit you right clicked on. In this way, hierarchical organizations can be defined. An editor for organizational unit data will open.
  5. In the organizational unit editor, you can add a description in the Description text box, and you can select a calendar. These are optional fields and you can edit them later if you wish.
    Note: The calendar rule set to an organizational unit does not affect the time zone used to display information to participants belonging to that organizational unit. The time zone taken into account to display dates in WorkSpace is the one set in the WorkSpace Settings dialog box. Settings, including time zones, can be unique for each user.
