organizational unit

Archibus supports the Business Unit-Division-Department hierarchy to represent the organizations that use assets and occupy space.

In addition to this hierarchy, Archibus offers the Organizational Units ( org ) table, with which you can store unlimited levels of a hierarchy (an n-tier hierarchy) in one table.

For example, the highlighted BIP - Imaging and Printing organizational unit is part of a 6-level hierarchy. It is represented as: G|CUS|CSB|OPS|BSF|BIP|.

Organizational units are used in the following application areas. Additionally, system administrators can add the validated Organization Code field (validated by the org table) to additional tables.

  • Teams table (Space Console)
  • Equipment table -- Includes the Organizational Unit field for sites that integrate BUILDER TM SMS with Archibus.
  • Extensions for BUILDER TM SMS -- Offers the Assets / Enterprise Assets / Extensions for BUILDER SMS / View and Edit Organizational Units ( ab-def-org.axvw ) so that you can define organizational units and view organizational units that you import from BUILDER TM SMS.
