Organizations

Organizations are part of the opt-in features, which are not used by some clients.

Organizations represent official entities, such as departments, offices, or employers. Top-level organizations have the highest authority, while child organizations represent subdivisions or entities therein.

Client Admins can create, move, and network organizations. Organization administrators can manage the general information, members, and child organizations, and they serve as the point of contact for members.

To get more information about an organization, on the Organizations page, locate it and click its row. The organization details open on the right, with contact information, history, and members. You may notice a Reporting ID also, which helps to identify and differentiate organizations. Reporting IDs can be defined as well as automatically inherited.

As an account owner, you can request membership in one or more organizations. If your request is accepted, the organization’s administrator assigns you a role and you can be selected to receive their notifications.

Organizations, Domains, and Facilities

Domains and facilities are automatically mapped to organizations. When you create a domain, eICS automatically creates a corresponding domain organization. Likewise, when you create a facility for that domain, eICS automatically creates a corresponding facility organization within the domain organization.

You cannot rename, move, or delete domain or facility organizations through the Organizations page. Instead, directly edit the facility on the Planning page. If you want to create organizations that are not linked to domains or facilities, you can do so on the Organizations page. However, these other organizations will not interact with most eICS features.
